It might’ve launched well over two years ago, but Rainbow Six\u00a0Siege<\/em> has just hit\u00a030 million players.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It’s notable news given how Ubisoft has been talking up the positive performance of its back-catalog\u00a0titles<\/a> and ‘player recurring investment’ in recent months.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It’s also a testament to the French developer-publisher’s focus on creating franchises that “offer long-term visibility,” with the company having managed to triple Siege’s<\/em>\u00a0playerbase since\u00a0November 2016, when it stood at\u00a010 million players.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Indeed, the last time we checked in December 2017, the tactical shooter had\u00a0just crossed the 25 million player mark<\/a>, meaning it’s added another 5 million players in roughly four months.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Of course, it’s worth nothing that those 30 million players don’t translate directly into sales, and it’s possible that some players could’ve created multiple accounts, but it’s a significant\u00a0milestone\u00a0nonetheless.<\/p>\n
