Ubisoft adds 10 new esports team bundles to Rainbow Six Siege

Game developer Ubisoft has announced 10 new pro team bundles for its FPS esports title Rainbow Six: Siege (R6).

The bundles are part of the R6 Share program, with each bundle containing a weapon skin and an operator background card.

• BLAST enters mobile esports with the BLAST Bash event
• Rocket League adds 10 new RLCS teams to the esports in-game store
• Riot Games unveils best-selling team VCT Capsules

The 10 new exclusive bundles are aimed at R6 esports teams Dplus Kia, Falcons, Fluxo, Furia, M80, Scarz, Soniqs, Vivokeyd, W7m and Wylde. They can be purchased in the game’s store.

R6 Share is a revenue sharing agreement between Ubisoft and specific esports teams in Rainbow Six. The bundles allow fans to support their favorite teams as revenue from their sales is distributed among member teams. In this case, the partner organizations receive 50% of the income generated.

The reveal of the bundles comes ahead of the BLAST R9 Major Montreal 2024, which teams can still qualify for through their regional competitions and the Last Chance Qualifier. The tournament takes place from November 7 to 17 and invites 20 top R6 rosters to compete for a prize pool of $750,000 (~£560,000).

In July last year, Ubisoft expanded its R6 stock offering with new bundles including Wolves Esports, MIBR and MNM Gaming. This year, the developer continues to invest in the R6 esports scene. Ubisoft recently partnered with game data platform GRID to launch a data portal for the game’s esports organizations, which teams were given free access to.

The 2024 R6 Invitational in February became the most watched esports event in esports history. Furthermore, Ubisoft and BLAST have already announced France as the location for the 2025 edition.
