Rainbow Six Mobile to end service on January 15, 2027
Key takeaways
- Service end date: January 15, 2027
- Developer: Ubisoft Montreal
- Soft Launch began in 2023; 15 seasons ran to date
- Next season will launch next week as planned
Ubisoft announced that Rainbow Six Mobile will officially cease operations on January 15, 2027. The free-to-play tactical first-person shooter for mobile was developed by Ubisoft Montreal and brings a 5v5 attack-vs-defend Rainbow Six Siege-style match structure to phones.
The game’s core loop matched Siege’s close-quarters tactics: attackers could deploy recon drones and breach destructible walls, floors and ceilings, while defenders used barricades, spy cameras and traps to fortify sites. Matches swapped attack and defense each round; Ubisoft described the project as a mobile attempt to deliver an orthodox Siege experience, with fast-paced rounds and team-focused strategy.
Ubisoft noted Rainbow Six Mobile began a Soft Launch in 2023 and ran 15 seasons during its live service. The studio thanked the global player community for memes, videos, tactics guides, community tournaments and standout plays that shaped the game. Ubisoft also confirmed the next season will still release next week as originally scheduled, and that the Montreal team will transition to other long-term strategic projects with more updates to come in the following weeks.
Why it matters
A practical note for players: the service will remain live until January 15, 2027, so account access, seasons and any in-game progression will continue until that date. Ubisoft promised further details on the transition in the coming weeks. For now, the clearest takeaway is logistical — you have a defined window to play, share highlights, and close out any plans tied to Rainbow Six Mobile before servers go dark on January 15, 2027.
