Ubisoft announced on October 8 that it is shutting down Rainbow Six Mobile on January 15, 2027. Destructoid, Polygon, Kotaku, and SiegeGG all reported on the decision to sunset the free to play mobile spinoff. The decision comes less than a year after the game officially launched on iOS and Android devices earlier in 2026. [1][2][3][6]

Destructoid and Kotaku both report that the upcoming season for Rainbow Six Mobile will still be released as planned next week. Ubisoft stated on the game's social media account that additional updates will be issued to prepare for the operational transition before the final shutdown date. [1][3]

According to Polygon, developers working on the title will move to other long term strategic projects. Rainbow Six Mobile was first announced in 2022 as a title designed to adapt the core Rainbow Six Siege experience to mobile devices. Polygon and Kotaku noted that the full global release lasted only around seven months. [1][2][3]

The mobile title is a spinoff of Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege, a tactical shooter developed by Ubisoft Montreal and published by Ubisoft in 2015. The core Rainbow Six franchise has generated over 3.5 billion euros in revenue, with a sustained player base exceeding 30 million unique active users annually. [7][8][9]
