π° What Happened
Ubisoft is shutting down Rainbow Six Mobile, its mobile version of the tactical shooter Rainbow Six Siege. The game will stay online until January 15, 2027. The next season will still launch as planned next week.
The game was first announced in 2022 and released in beta that September. Ubisoft launched it worldwide on Android and iOS in February 2026. Its developers will move to other long-term projects.
π The Backstory
Rainbow Six Siege is a popular team shooter on consoles and PC. Ubisoft built a separate mobile version from the ground up. It added a new control system and optimised visuals for touchscreens.
The free-to-play game aimed to offer quick sessions rather than long matches. It spent years in testing across different regions. In the end, it did not last long after its full launch.
π― Why It Matters
Players who spent money or time on the game will lose access. It also shows how hard it is for big game makers to succeed on phones.
