The disruption has now escalated into full service outages across all platforms, according to Ubisoft’s own service status page. Players across PC and console are being urged by the community to stay offline, as reports continue to surface of accounts receiving billions of in game credits, rare and developer only skins, and experiencing random bans.

Community responses have accused the publisher of calling it a server issue while core systems appear compromised. Some players also questioned why the game remained online for hours while accounts were being altered in real time. Players Report Billions of Credits, Dev Skins, and Ban Chaos As the incident unfolded, players reported logging in to find their accounts flooded with billions of R6 Credits and Renown, thousands of Alpha Packs, and access to exclusive cosmetics such as developer skins and Glaciers.

Thousands of accounts were reportedly banned and unbanned at random, including those belonging to streamers and high profile players.
