Ubisoft has initiated a massive ban wave in Rainbow Six Siege, wiping out many of the cheaters from the console convicted of using a mouse in the game. This recent wave is an attempt to start with a clean slate for Ubisoft’s upcoming title, Rainbow Six Siege X.

This operation came as a surprise. It wiped out a lot of players from the game, almost like a military operation clearing out a terrorist base by surprise and moving out without them even realizing what hit them. This game has had a cheating problem for a very long time.
Ubisoft’s upcoming Rainbow Six Siege X will not take cheating lightly

Ubisoft has made one thing clear: It will not be tolerating cheating in its competitive games anymore. Rainbow Six Siege has a massive following and has played an important role in strengthening Ubisoft’s position in the competitive market.
It is one of the most successful competitive games on the market, with a huge player base. The only concern fans had before was with the inflow of a large number of cheaters, especially in the higher ranks where the game gets difficult. Rainbow Six Siege has one of the highest skill ceilings.
Cheating is not appreciated in competitive games, especially because it hinders integrity and creates a massive imbalance, resulting in people losing interest in the game eventually. A good anti-cheat is extremely necessary for the success of any competitive game.

A large number of players have been banned from the game overnight. Ubisoft’s strategy did wonders for the game since its player community is extremely thrilled at this feat.
Creating a healthy gaming environment is necessary for competitive play

Competitive play can get very serious and frustrating at times, especially at higher ranks where players are competing against the best of the lot in the game. Cheating at such high ranks is extremely disheartening to witness since most of the players present there have climbed the ladder through hard work and dedication.
Ubisoft’s recent implementation of its anti-cheat strategy seems to be working in its favor. It might seem like the game is losing a lot of its players due to being banned at the moment, but the numbers will soon stabilize and more players will be now attracted towards the game.
Establishing a healthy gaming environment pays well in the long run for competitive games, and Ubisoft has set pretty nice grounds for its upcoming Rainbow Six Siege X with many graphical and audio enhancements. What do you think about it? Let us know in the comments below.
