Ubisoft recently unveiled a monthly subscription service—dubbed “R6 membership”—for its long-running competitive tactical shooter, Rainbow 6 Siege. And, as you probably guessed, it got Siege fans absolutely riled up.
The R6 membership announcement came paired with the reveal of Operation New Blood on stage at the BLAST R6 Major Manchester 2024 event for Rainbow Six Siege. While the new operation had a lukewarm reception, the monthly subscription service clearly didn’t sit well with fans. The announcement video was drowned out by boos from the live crowd at the LAN event (check out the live reaction video on TikTok captured by Royza Gaming). Reception from the online community isn’t much different, either.
