Rainbow Six Mobile

Honestly, that's even worse.

So Rainbow Six Mobile is shutting down in January.

We covered that before, but this week we learned Ubisoft is also poised to close its Helsinki studio, Redlynx, which is up to fifty-two jobs at risk.

And Redlynx is the studio that refocused on mobile and worked on Rainbow Six Mobile.

So here's the number that tells the whole story.

Rainbow Six just earned five point three million dollars in lifetime in-app revenues from thirteen million downloads.

They've been backing away from the technology ever since they launched PlayStation VR 2 basically in 2023.

Another Ubisoft story, Rainbow Six Mobile is shutting down less than a year after it came out.

The tactical shooter will be available to play until January 15th, 2027.

The team will now move on to other projects.

The headline is "Google Play Is Adding a Raft of New Discovery, Curation, and AI Features." [whooshing] Couple of game closures in the last week.

Ubisoft is closing Rainbow Six Mobile after just seven months on the market.

The game, according to AppMagic, earned about 5.3 million in in-app purchase revenue in that time from about 13.1 million downloads.

This game sort of infamously has been in development for over six years, and Ubisoft told us a few years back that 11 of its studios have worked on the game over that time, including mobile shooter specialist, Tencent.

But the Apple Arcade version of that game will continue to be run by Fingersoft.

So yes, two notable game closures in the last week.

Fingersoft closing LEGO Hill Climb Adventures and Ubisoft closing Rainbow Six Mobile.

[whooshing] Second bit of Google news this week.

You had some other interesting news, Ubisoft.

Yeah, it caught my eye that Ubisoft is shutting down Rainbow Six Mobile a, a mere seven months after launch.

And, you know, I'll be frank, I had not paid a lot of attention to Rainbow Six Mobile, and if I am being very blunt, I would question that play to begin with.

I do not think the, the hardest of hardcore kind of tactical shooter audience is, is also the same as the mobile audience.

So I, I...

That'll be interesting to see.

All right, Ubisoft is shutting down Rainbow Six Mobile, guys.

Pour one out on January 13th of next year, less than a year after the free-to-play shooters global launch in February of this year, so it didn't even make it a year.

Man, I wonder if I started playing now if I could be the best ever in Rainbow Six Mobile.

In a post on X, the team said it had made the difficult decision to pull the plug.

The next season will still launch as planned next week, and Ubisoft says it will share more details about the shutdown in the coming weeks.

think they'd have those details now.

I guess they're rushing it, yeah.

Excited.

From VGC, Ubisoft is sunsetting Rainbow Six Mobile less than a year after global release.

The game soft launched in 2023 but was only fully launched in February 2026.

It's set to shut down in January 2027.
