Rainbow Six Siege (R6) servers are currently down because Ubisoft intentionally took them offline after a major hack/exploit impacted in‑game credits, skins, and account data, and they are now doing a rollback and integrity checks before bringing them back online. There is no firm ETA, but official status pages still list an “unplanned outage” while this cleanup work continues.

What actually happened

  • A widespread breach let some players suddenly see either zero or billions of R6 credits, plus ultra‑rare skins or packs on their accounts.
  • To prevent further damage and cleanup the economy, Ubisoft shut down all Rainbow Six Siege servers and the in‑game Marketplace across PC, PlayStation, and Xbox.
  • Ubisoft is rolling back all affected transactions from a specified time window, and running extra quality-control checks to make sure accounts and inventories are safe before reopening.

Official word vs. community chatter

  • The official R6 social account said Siege and the Marketplace were “intentionally shut down” while they focus on resolving the exploit, and confirmed a rollback is in progress.
  • Ubisoft’s service-status page still shows a global “unplanned outage” for connectivity, which matches what players are seeing when they try to log in.
  • Community hubs and forums are full of outage and hacking reports, with players sharing screenshots of broken balances and repeated disconnects leading up to the shutdown.

What this means for your account

  • Ubisoft has stated that players will not be banned just for spending the bugged credits that appeared during the incident, and that unrelated automated ban messages were not part of this hack.
  • The ongoing rollback aims to restore accounts to a stable state before the exploit, which may remove any ill‑gotten credits or items that showed up during the breach window.

What you can do right now

  • Check the official Rainbow Six Siege service-status page to see when the global outage flag changes from “unplanned outage” back to normal.
  • Keep an eye on the official R6 social feed, where they are posting timestamped updates about the rollback progress and when servers are expected to reopen.
  • Avoid third‑party “fixes” or sites claiming to restore accounts or credits during this period, since the only legitimate restoration is coming from Ubisoft’s internal rollback process.
