Rainbow Six Siege X Security Breach 2025: $13M Currency Glitch Forces Global Blackout
Ubisoft's Rainbow Six Siege X faced a massive security breach in 2025, leading to a 24-hour server shutdown and a $13M currency leak. Learn about the rollback and impact.
They didn't just break in; they handed out the keys to the vault. Ubisoft shut down its Rainbow Six Siege X servers for over 24 hours after a massive systems breach over the weekend led to a surreal redistribution of wealth. Hackers managed to flood player accounts with millions of dollars worth of in-game currency, effectively nuking the game's economy overnight.
Inside the Rainbow Six Siege X Security Breach 2025
Over the weekend, screenshots of accounts with 2 billion R6 Credits started circulating on social media. To put that in perspective, 15,000 R6 Credits cost $99.99 in the official store. This means individual hackers were gifting over $13 million in digital value to random players. Ubisoft first acknowledged the incident on Saturday morning, shortly before pulling the plug on the game and its Marketplace.
The Aftermath: Rollbacks and Restricted Access
To fix the mess, Ubisoft is rolling the game's state back to December 27, 6 a.m. ET. While players who spent the illicit credits won't face bans, they won't keep their loot either. All transactions since the breach are being reversed. The Marketplace remains closed until further notice, and Ubisoft warned that legitimate players might see issues with their inventory for the next two weeks as the cleanup continues.
