Troubleshooting

How to fix Rainbow Six not working

Rainbow Six is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:

Your browser tries to reach ubisoft.com over your own connection, right now. Nothing is sent to us or stored.

Check the official status page
Open the official status page at https://www.ubisoft.com/en-us/game/rainbow-six/siege/status and look for an active incident. If Ubisoft reports a problem, wait for the service to recover before changing your setup.
Restart Rainbow Six and its launcher
Close the game completely. On PC, right-click the Ubisoft Connect icon in the system tray and choose Quit; then reopen the game from your library. On consoles, quit from the dashboard: on Xbox, press the Xbox button, highlight the game, press Menu, and choose Quit; on PlayStation, highlight the game on the home screen, press Options, and choose Close Game.
Test your NAT type
On Xbox, go to Settings > General > Network settings > Test NAT type; on PlayStation, go to Settings > Network > Connection Status > View Connection Status. If the result is Strict or Type 3, turn on UPnP in your router settings, because a restricted NAT can block squad invites and matchmaking. On PC, check the same UPnP option in your router before you blame the game.
Verify or reinstall Rainbow Six
On PC, verify the game files through your launcher: in Ubisoft Connect, open the game's Properties and choose Verify files; in Steam, use Properties > Installed Files > Verify integrity of game files. On console, delete the game from your storage and reinstall it from your library. That takes longer, but it rules out a corrupted download.

While Rainbow Six is down: what to use instead

Counter-Strike 2 If you want the same round-based attack and defend tension, Counter-Strike 2 runs on Valve's servers, so a Ubisoft outage won't stop you from playing it.
Valorant Valorant suits you if you miss operator-style utility and abilities; it is free and sits on Riot's network, away from Ubisoft Connect.
Ready or Not For slow room clearing, Ready or Not has a solo mode with AI squadmates, which helps when your own connection is part of the problem.
Ubisoft status page Check it before you reinstall the game or restart your router, because no fix on your end clears login or matchmaking failures while it lists a server issue for your platform.

Your device

Fix Rainbow Six on Windows, Mac, Android and iPhone

Rainbow Six on Windows

Fix: Verify the Rainbow Six game files through Ubisoft Connect or Steam, and ensure the game is allowed through Windows Defender Firewall. You can also try restarting your router to resolve connection drops.
Check: Check the official Ubisoft Service Status website or the Rainbow Six Twitter account for live server updates. You can also check if you can log into the Ubisoft Connect client.

Command Prompt

ping ubisoft.comTest whether Rainbow Six's servers reply

nslookup ubisoft.comCheck that Rainbow Six's DNS resolves

tracert ubisoft.comTrace where the connection drops

ipconfig /flushdnsClear the DNS cache, then reload

Rainbow Six on Mac

Fix: Since Rainbow Six is played on Mac via cloud services like GeForce NOW, restart your streaming client and check your network bandwidth. Ensure your Mac's firewall isn't blocking the cloud gaming application.
Check: Check the status page of your cloud gaming provider to see if Rainbow Six is temporarily disabled. You can also monitor the official Ubisoft support channels for global game outages.

Terminal

ping -c 4 ubisoft.comTest whether Rainbow Six's servers reply

nslookup ubisoft.comCheck that Rainbow Six's DNS resolves

traceroute ubisoft.comTrace where the connection drops

sudo dscacheutil -flushcache; sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponderFlush the macOS DNS cache, then reload

Rainbow Six on Android

Fix: For Rainbow Six Mobile, clear the app cache in your Android settings and ensure the app is updated to the latest version via the Google Play Store. Restarting your device or switching from cellular data to Wi-Fi can also resolve connection issues.
Check: Check the Google Play Store for service alerts or visit the official Rainbow Six Mobile social media pages for maintenance announcements. You can also try launching the app to see if it displays a server maintenance message.

Rainbow Six on iPhone and iPad

Fix: Force close the Rainbow Six Mobile app and check the Apple App Store for any pending updates. If connection issues persist, toggle Airplane Mode off and on to reset your iOS network connection.
Check: Verify the game status by checking the official Rainbow Six Mobile Twitter account for server status updates. You can also check if other online iOS apps are loading to rule out a local internet issue.

Same time

Problems at the same time as Rainbow Six

Since 5 October, 2 of Rainbow Six's 3 spikes in problem reports overlapped a spike at another service.

When several services get problem reports at once, something they share, such as a cloud host or a network, can be the real cause. Matching times alone do not prove it.

About

What happens when Rainbow Six goes down

Rainbow Six Siege is a tactical shooter where attackers and defenders fight over objectives in close quarters, and players on PC and consoles depend on its online servers for every match. When the service drops, you lose matchmaking and the ranked or casual rounds you were playing.

The first sign is a failed login or a hang on the connecting screen, because authentication has to clear before anything else loads. After that, matchmaking queues stall or throw you back to the main menu, and custom games refuse to start. You can also see your squad list empty out while the store and progression tabs fail to update. These problems hit one platform or region at a time, so a friend on another console or in a different country may keep playing without trouble.

Questions

Rainbow Six FAQ

Is Rainbow Six down right now?

The status at the top of this page shows whether problem reports for the service are above their usual level, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. If the official status page is listed above, check it for Ubisoft's own confirmation. Test another online game on the same connection when the report level looks normal. If that other game works, your network is probably fine and the issue is more likely on your account or the service; if it also fails, the problem is on your side.

Why can't I join my friend's squad in Rainbow Six?

Squad invites often fail when one of you has a different game version or a strict NAT type on the console or router. A pending update can block them too. Have your friend send a fresh invite after you both restart the game and the Ubisoft Connect client. If the invite still will not go through, try joining from the in-game friends list or from the platform party instead; a temporary server problem can also block joins, so check this page and the official status page before changing router settings.

Why did my R6 Credits or Renown not show up after I bought them?

Purchases of R6 Credits can take a short while to appear, and Renown from a match sometimes arrives after the match summary closes. Restart the game and check your balance again before you buy anything else. If the credits came from a platform store, confirm that the purchase went to the same Ubisoft account you use in the game. When the balance still does not update, contact Ubisoft support with your order confirmation; do not spend a second purchase to fix the first.

Why does Rainbow Six say my Ubisoft account is already linked to another platform?

An account link usually sticks to the first platform that signed in with it, so a second console or PC can trigger that message. Unlink the platform from your Ubisoft account page only if you still have access to the old platform. If you bought the game on a new platform and the old one is gone, Ubisoft support has to clear the link for you. Do not make a second account with your progress on it unless you are willing to leave that progress behind.

Why does matchmaking in Rainbow Six keep putting me in empty lobbies?

Empty lobbies usually mean the queue is struggling to fill your chosen playlist or your connection is dropping before the lobby fills. Your matchmaking region can also be set far from your actual location, so check it in the game menu and pick the closest one. If you are in a squad, have the leader restart the search and make sure everyone is on the same game version. A server-side outage can also leave lobbies half full, so compare this page with the official status page before you reinstall anything.

How we track Rainbow Six

The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for Rainbow Six, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for Rainbow Six, so a few complaints on a quiet day don't trigger anything, but a sudden jump well above normal does.

When reports climb well above normal, the status here changes to partial outage or major outage and the chart moves with it. This is separate from Rainbow Six's official status page: user reports tend to show a problem early, while the official page confirms the cause. If the two disagree, check both.
