Rainbow Six Siege Fell Short as Players Exploited Price Error

Ubisoft’s Rainbow Six Siege Revenue Dip due to Pricing Glitch and Launch Challenges, but Prospects Remain Promising

Ubisoft informed investors that Rainbow Six Siege, a key title, did not meet revenue expectations for the April to June 2025 quarter. The game experienced a 2.2% decline in revenue compared to the same period in 2024. This dip was primarily attributed to pricing errors, stemming from a glitch that allowed players to acquire excess in-game currency, as well as challenges with the launch of Rainbow Six Siege X and unfavorable exchange rates. Yves Guillemot, Ubisoft’s CEO, confirmed that a significant, temporary revenue impact from these technical pricing issues has since been resolved. He also highlighted players’ positive reception to Rainbow Six Siege X, noting its revamped gameplay and enhanced features significantly boosted player engagement. Rainbow Six Siege X is a major update designed to commemorate the game’s 10th anniversary, featuring comprehensive upgrades to visuals, sound, menus, and gameplay. Despite this temporary setback, Rainbow Six Siege’s growth prospects remain promising, driven by its active player base and robust player spending.
