Rainbow Six Siege Ubisoft Hack 2025: $13 Million Virtual Heist Forces Shutdown
Ubisoft shuts down Rainbow Six Siege servers after a massive 2025 hack. Attackers distributed $13 million worth of R6 Credits to all players, breaking the game's economy.
A massive security breach has turned one of the world's most popular tactical shooters into a digital ghost town. Ubisoft confirmed yesterday that Rainbow Six Siege's systems were compromised, leading to an immediate shutdown of both game servers and the in-game marketplace.
The Scale of the Rainbow Six Siege Ubisoft Hack 2025
According to reports from The Verge, hackers didn't just disrupt gameplay; they seized total control. The intruders gained the ability to ban or unban users at will, broadcast custom messages through the ban ticker, and unlock every single in-game item for the entire player base. Most shockingly, they granted every player 2 billion R6 Credits and Renown.
Ubisoft's Response: No Bans for Lucky Players
Despite the chaos, Ubisoft stated that it won't punish players for spending the illicitly gained currency. It's likely the company will implement a full database rollback once the security holes are patched. For now, the systems remain down as engineers work to regain full integrity of the network.
