What seemed like a bad joke is turning into a nightmare for Rainbow Six Siege fans. Since the weekend of January 4, 2026, thousands of players have found themselves suddenly suspended from the game… for a period of 67 days. A strange sanction, visibly linked to a new massive hack of Ubisoft’s multiplayer FPS.
While the previous security breach at the end of December had already paralyzed the servers and offered 2 billion credits to players, a new bug, or rather a coordinated attack, seems to have contaminated all platforms. PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series and PC are affected. And this time, instead of distributing bonuses, the system bans users automatically, without clear justification.
A bug turned into a running gag because of the “6-7” meme
On social media, the term “67 days” quickly went viral. But there is nothing arbitrary about this figure. This is a direct reference to a well-known meme in the community: “6-7”, an absurd joke often used to make fun of unjustified bans. “Ubisoft’s Rainbow Six Siege has been compromised (again). Social media is full of players complaining about being banned for ’67 days,’ a reference to the ‘Six Seven’ meme.”
Even well-known figures like VarsityGaming have had their accounts temporarily suspended. Faced with the scale of the problem, Ubisoft has still not released an official statement. There is only a waiting message on the technical support site. “Some issues are under investigation. Thank you for your patience.”
An already chaotic precedent during the holidays
This new wave of bans comes barely a week after a previous massive hack, which occurred on December 27, 2025. Hackers then massively distributed credits, hijacked game logs and verbally attacked Ubisoft employees via system messages.
But above all, many accounts had been banned, then unbanned, without any warning. “During this same breach, thousands of players were banned and unbanned without reason or warning.”
Ubisoft had briefly suspended the servers and promised a general restoration of credits. At the time, the publisher assured that it took the situation seriously. “Extensive quality control testing will be carried out to ensure the integrity of the accounts and the effectiveness of the changes.” “This will be handled with extreme care.”
What can affected players do today?
Currently, the only recommended action is to report the issue via the R6Fix platform. More than 1,200 players have already reported the “67 day” suspension, which classifies the issue as “critical” on the official website.
No details were given on the correction time or the possibility of reinstating players before the famous 67 days. The lack of concrete reaction from Ubisoft arouses frustration and irony. Some even mention the idea of permanently uninstalling the game, tired of the repetition of flaws.
