Rainbow Six Siege servers appear to be mostly back online now, but you may still see instability as Ubisoft continues to clean up from the recent breach and emergency shutdown. Exact timing can vary by platform and region, so there is no precise ā€œall clearā€ time yet.

Current server situation

  • Ubisoft intentionally took Siege and the inā€‘game marketplace offline on December 27 to deal with a major server/security issue, not routine maintenance.
  • Community and creator updates say servers are already back up ā€œfor the most part,ā€ but not fully stable everywhere.
  • You can check the live status page, which currently shows no global issues for core services, meaning many players should be able to connect again.

When you can expect to play

  • Servers are being brought back gradually, so some players will get in earlier than others depending on region and platform.
  • Even after you can log in, you might face:
    • Queue errors or timeouts
    • Occasional disconnects from matches
    • Store/marketplace issues or rollbacks on recent progress and purchases

What to do right now

  • Check the official service-status page and the @Rainbow6Game / Ubisoft support social channels before assuming it is a local issue.
  • If friends in your region are in matches and you still cannot connect, try:
    • Restarting the game and platform launcher
    • Power-cycling router/modem
    • Swapping from Wiā€‘Fi to wired if possible (to rule out local issues)

Community and forum chatter

  • Forum and social threads are very active, with players sharing regional ā€œitā€™s up for meā€ or ā€œstill down hereā€ reports as servers come back in waves.
  • Some discussion also focuses on concerns about longā€‘term security and cheating risks after the breach, which Ubisoft is expected to keep addressing with further backend updates.
