Rainbow Six Siege X servers are back online after a hack completely shut down the game — Ubisoft rolling back free ultra-rare skins and billions of credits

Rainbow Six Siege.

Rainbow Six Siege X servers and primary services are back up and running after the game experienced a massive hack yesterday, forcing the game's developers to shut down the game completely. The devs posted on X that players are now safe to return to the game.

The devs clarified that those returning to the game right now might experience a wait queue as Rainbow Six Siege's services ramp back up. Those who connected to the game's services after December 27th, 19:49 UTC, might lose access to their accounts temporarily as Ubisoft looks to clean up all the extra free goodies that many Siege players received from yesterday's hack. But, "players who did not log in between December 27th, 10:49 UTC and December 29th should see no changes to their inventory." The devs report their investigation into this issue will continue over the next two weeks. In a similar vein, the devs also reported that the Rainbow Six Siege marketplace will remain closed until further notice.
