An update released in December added special support for the latest consoles, enabling a 120 FPS mode on Xbox Series X and PS5.

Rainbow Six Siege first released back in 2015 and has seen numerous new Operators and updates since. Rainbow Six Siege was added to Xbox Game Pass for console back in October 2020 and is still available in the service right now, which likely aided the growth of the game's playerbase throughout the last quarter.
Other big highlights for Ubisoft's latest quarter include Assassin's Creed Valhalla, which saw the biggest launch of any game in the Assassin's Creed franchise and propelled Ubisoft to its biggest quarter in company history.
