Released in 2015, Rainbow Six Siege is in its 6th year of development, and since then the game has registered more than 70 million players across Xbox, Playstation, and PC platforms.
Last year in February, Ubisoft had reported more than 50 million users in their Q3 earnings for the 2019-2020 fiscal year. This year due to Covid-19 restrictions worldwide the game saw a huge boost in its player numbers and was able to register more than 20 million players in 2020. In their Q3 earnings for the 2020-2021 fiscal year, Ubisoft reported this impressive record for its popular tactical shooter game.
In July last year, the company had reported more than 60 million registered Rainbow Six Siege players. Ubisoft celebrated the 60 million mark with a “Thank You” video directed towards the entire Siege community. And with the Year 6 reveal coming soon, players and fans can expect another “Thank You” video or a special event by the developers.
