Rainbow Six Siege players have just gone through one of the strangest and the most chaotic moments the game has seen in years. Earlier today, reports started pouring in from across the community of players suddenly receiving ridiculous amounts of R6 Credits, Renown, Alpha Packs, and even high-tier cosmetics without doing anything. Screenshots showed balances skyrocketing into absurd territory, while others claimed their accounts were temporarily flagged or even banned during the chaos.
Ubisoft has now publicly acknowledged the situation, confirming that Rainbow Six Siege is currently experiencing an “incident” and stating that internal teams are working to resolve it. The company hasn’t yet gone into detail about what exactly went wrong, so there’s still no official confirmation on whether this was a breach, an exploit, or a serious internal systems failure. What’s clear is that it has affected players globally and caused confusion on a massive scale.
For a competitive live-service title built around progression, cosmetics, marketplace systems, and long-term investment, an event like this is a big deal. It raises questions not only about the immediate cleanup, but also about how accounts, bans, and illegitimately gained items will be handled once everything settles.
For now, the community’s attitude is cautious. Many players are choosing to stay out of the game until Ubisoft finishes stabilizing backend services and confirms that it’s safe to jump back in. Whether the overblown rewards will be rolled back, whether flagged accounts will be fully cleared, and how Ubisoft explains the cause.
Stay tuned to VGNW and follow us on X, we’ll update you the moment Ubisoft shares what really happened. Let us know what you think, if this shake your trust, or is it just another wild day in Siege history?
