Whenever a brave Rainbow Six Siege newcomer joins a game with my usual group, we offer a gentle warning: This might take a while. If the game restarts a couple times when you launch it, don't worry: That's normal. Can't see the squad invite? Normal. Some kind of crossplay matchmaking error? Yeah, that's normal.

Anti-Cheat Status Update – May 2023



Our latest Anti-Cheat Status Update for May 2023 is here.

[h2]BATTLEYE & DATA BANS[/h2]

For an overview on bans, we bring our latest BattlEye and Data Ban numbers, including data for 2023.

*Total bans from previous months have been corrected following a database update.

[h2]CHEATS ADDRESSED[/h2]

Since our last update we have worked to fortify our security behind the scenes, making cheat development more tedious. We have also fixed a number of cheats that were not player facing but affecting game balance.

[h2]MMR ROLLBACK[/h2]

MMR Rollback was temporarily disabled following the release of Y8S1 to avoid bugs in rollbacks. We have since resolved the related issues and the MMR Rollback system is now active.

[h2]MOUSETRAP - Input Spoofing Detection on Console[/h2]

Y8S1.2 saw the successful release of Mousetrap on consoles. While we're extremely proud of this milestone, we know that closely and continuously monitoring this new system remains crucial.

As we move forward, we are prepared to make any necessary adjustments to ensure that we maintain a robust, reliable, and fair detection and sanctioning system - this is a front we are committed to.

[h2]HOW YOU CAN HELP[/h2]

In-game reporting continues to be the best way to get your reports to us. If you are reporting a cheater on social media, the following can help us to identify and sanction them.
  • Clear video or photo proof of the incident
  • The offending player's Username, UserID, or Privacy Mode Nickname
  • Match ID for any relevant matches
  • Date and time of the incident
