Is Rainbow Six Siege Down?
Right now, Rainbow Six Siege is partially down, with core services like connectivity, authentication, matchmaking, and the in-game store all marked as degraded across PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S. The official status labels it as an unplanned outage, which matches what many players are seeing: endless loading, failed logins, or being kicked back to the menu mid-queue.
For most players, it doesn’t feel like a full “offline” situation, but more like:
-
The game sometimes lets you in, sometimes doesn’t.
-
Matchmaking can be slow or unstable.
-
The store and Marketplace aren’t reliable or are completely unavailable.
It’s the kind of downtime that’s extra frustrating because everything looks like it should work… until it doesn’t, usually right when the squad finally gets online at the same time.
When Will the Rainbow Six Siege Servers Be Back Up?
-
The servers are in the process of coming back up, but not fully stable yet, and there isn’t a hard “everything fixed by X time” promise. Ubisoft has said that:
-
Live tests are complete, and the game has been opened to all players again, but you may hit queues as services ramp up.
-
Earlier, they ran a soft launch, only opening to a smaller group while they tested things live.
-
A rollback has been completed, which affects some players’ inventories depending on when they logged in.
Rainbow Six Siege X (@Rainbow6Game) announced on X that live tests and rollback are complete with the game reopening to all players, possible login queues, ongoing inventory investigations for some users, and the Marketplace remaining closed until further notice.
If you:
-
Did not log in between December 27, 10:49 UTC and December 29, your inventory should look normal.
-
Did log in during that window, you might temporarily lose access to some owned items while investigations and corrections continue over the next two weeks.
-
So, in practical terms: yes, the servers are coming back, but expect queues, bugs, and missing cosmetics for a bit. It’s more of a gradual recovery than a clean “servers are back, all good now” moment.
Rainbow Six Siege Server Status
The current Rainbow Six Siege server status is “unplanned outage” with degraded performance across all major platforms, plus a closed Marketplace. Connectivity, authentication, matchmaking, and the in-game store are all affected in some way, even though the game is being reopened.
Key points to keep in mind:
-
You may see queues when logging in as they slowly ramp services back up.
-
The Marketplace will remain closed until further notice, with ongoing investigations.
-
A small percentage of players who connected during the affected period may temporarily lose access to some owned items, with fixes rolling out over about two weeks.
For now, the best approach is:
-
Try logging in periodically, especially if you saw earlier error messages.
-
Don’t panic if some skins or items are missing right now — they’re already flagged for correction.
-
Expect the experience to feel a bit unstable before it fully settles.
-
It’s not the server status anyone wants on a gaming day, but the direction is at least positive: from fully broken, to degraded, to (hopefully) normal again soon.
Disclaimer
Information about Rainbow Six Siege server status can change quickly due to ongoing maintenance, outages, or hotfixes. Players should always double-check the latest updates through the official Ubisoft support channels, server-status pages, or Rainbow Six Siege social media feeds before assuming servers are fully down or back online.
