Ubisoft shut down Rainbow Six Siege live services after a Rainbow Six Siege hack pushed 2 billion R6 Credits to players across the game.

The shutdown also paused the Siege marketplace shutdown while the team started account fixes and a R6 Credits rollback.

Players reported that the breach did not look limited to currency. Screenshots shared on social media suggested attackers accessed major online systems, including tools linked to player messaging and bans, while accounts also showed rare items.

The Rainbow Six Siege hack surfaced publicly on Dec. 27 through posts on X, and the team continued updates into Dec. 28. In one update, the team said,

“Siege and the Marketplace have been intentionally shut down while the team focuses on resolving the issue.”

Rainbow Six Siege Hack Sparks $13.33M Credit Value And An 11:00 AM UTC Rollback

The store math made the impact easy to measure. Ubisoft sells 15,000 R6 Credits for $99.99, so 2 billion credits equal about $13.33 million in store value.

After the Ubisoft server shutdown, the team set a cutoff for reversing transactions.

It said the R6 Credits rollback would cover activity since 11:00 AM UTC and would remove the extra credits and related purchases made after that time.

“A rollback is currently ongoing and afterwards, extensive quality control tests will be executed to ensure the integrity of accounts and effectiveness of changes,”

the team wrote.

“Please know that this matter is being handled with extreme care and therefore, timing cannot be guaranteed. We will provide another update as soon as we know more.”

Ubisoft Server Shutdown Continues As Rainbow6Game Starts A Soft Launch

While the rollback continued, the team moved toward a controlled return. It said it opened the game to a small number of players to run live tests during a soft launch.

“Opening the game to a small number of players only, while we complete live tests. More information on the rollback and full live relaunch to come,”

the team said in a Rainbow6Game X update.

The team also addressed player risk during the Rainbow Six Siege hack.

It said players will not face bans for spending credits received during the incident, even as the R6 Credits rollback reverses transactions and restores account integrity.

VIPMiddle East Tensions Raise Rate Risks but May Create Buying Opportunities

1. The sharp escalation in Middle East tensions pushed Brent crude to multi-year highs of $105–$107 per barrel, reviving inflation expectations. The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield surged to 4.94%, its highest level since 2023, while the implied probability of a rate hike at the September 16 policy meeting to the 3.75%–4.00% range rose from 48.4% one month ago to 67.1%. 2. Rising oil prices and rate-hike expectations weighed on most risk assets, but historical data suggest that this is more likely to be a short-term adjustment than a reversal of the broader trend. Bitcoin fell 3.36% this week and the S&P 500 declined 1.64%, while gold slipped just 0.96%. Outside the energy sector, markets are largely repricing ahead of next week's expected rate decision. 3. PoolX has recently introduced a long-term holding bonus, significantly improving effective returns for users who maintain assets on the platform over time. The core participation rules remain unchanged; the update adds an additional boost to the effective locked amount for users with qualifying long-term holdings. In the example provided, a user locking 1000 ETH would see the estimated reward increase from 1666.67 USDT to 2500 USDT, or about 50%, while the reference APR rises from 4.93% to 7.40%. Assets to watch: BTC, ETH, SOL, Brent crude, WTI crude, gold, 10-year U.S. Treasuries, RAY, ZEC, LEN, CCL.
