Rainbow Six Siege players are reporting a major ongoing exploit that has resulted in mass account bans and billions of R6 Credits being added to accounts unexpectedly.
The incident appears to be affecting live servers for Rainbow Six Siege, with players claiming their accounts were suddenly credited with huge amounts of in-game currency, Renown, Alpha Packs, and even exclusive cosmetic items they never unlocked.
At the same time, numerous accounts have been hit with random bans. Some players say these bans were later reversed, adding to confusion around what is actually happening on Ubisoft’s backend systems.
Players across PC and console have shared screenshots showing balances jumping into the billions for R6 Credits, Siege’s premium currency. Others claim they were banned shortly after logging in, even if they did not spend or interact with the newly added currency.
The post also claims that some accounts linked to streamers and possibly official Ubisoft profiles were affected, suggesting the issue is not limited to regular player accounts.
Ubisoft responds to apparent Rainbow Six Siege hack
Ubisoft has now acknowledged the situation publicly.
“We’re aware of an incident currently affecting Rainbow Six Siege. Our teams are working on a resolution. We will share further updates once available.”
Around 30 minutes later, the game and marketplace was shut down intentionally by the developers to contain the impact of the breach.
The publisher has not confirmed the cause of the incident, nor whether affected bans or currency changes will be fully rolled back once the issue is resolved. It is also unclear whether players who logged in during the exploit window could face penalties once systems are stabilized.
For now, Siege players are being urged to wait for official confirmation before accessing the game, as the situation appears to be ongoing.
