Rainbow Six Siege downtime today (December 3, 2024): Release of Operation Collision Point under the Y9S4 update

Ubisoft has always ensured smooth transitions into new seasonal updates or new operations, such as the upcoming Operation Collision Point. As usual, the servers will have a 60-minute downtime as the developers prepare the update to go live. The Rainbow Six Siege downtime will begin on December 3, 2024, from 09:00 EST for players in the United States and 14:00 UTC for international players.

The Rainbow Six Siege downtime implies that players won't be able to log in or play the game. Furthermore, once the servers come back online, you would have to download the new content update in order to play the game.

However, the PC downtime has been extended indefinitely, and it is currently unknown when the servers will be back online again. Ubisoft has maintained a reputation for quickly communicating server status reports, and fans can keep an eye on the official R6S X handle to know when the Rainbow Six Siege downtime ends.

It's also important to note that the server downtime applies to all platforms, including PC, Xbox and PlayStation. The full size of Rainbow Six Siege's Y9S4 Operation Collision Point patch is abnormally big compared to many other previous patches. Here are patch sizes according to platform:

• Ubisoft Connect: 73.99 GB
• Steam: 14.8 GB
• XBOX One: 34.4 GB
• XBOX Series X: 40.7 GB
• PlayStation 4: 39.90 GB
• PlayStation 5: 36.74 GB

According to Ubisoft, the patch size is so large because of a texture reforge. This update is far larger than the file size of the previous Operation: Twin Shells, which took somewhere between 4GB to 9.2GB of disk space.
