Ubisoft has renewed its partnership with Xbox Game Pass as the official partner of Rainbow Six Siege and BLAST R6 Esports, extending the collaboration through the 2026 and 2027 competitive seasons.
The two-year deal, co-produced with esports organiser BLAST, kicks off at the BLAST R6 Salt Lake City Major in May, which also marks the return of the two majors per year format for the competition. The partnership will span major global events across both seasons, including a November Major in Japan and the Six Invitational 2026 world championship in Brazil.
Beyond branding at live events, the partnership will deliver in-game benefits for Rainbow Six Siege to Xbox Game Pass subscribers starting in June, with additional offers planned throughout the year to coincide with key moments in the competitive calendar. Fans attending select BLAST R6 events can also look forward to exclusive meet-and-greets with content creators and giveaways as part of community activations tied to the partnership.
Ubisoft’s VP of Marketing & Esports for Rainbow Six Siege, François-Xavier Deniele, described the renewal as an opportunity to “further elevate the global impact” of both the game and its esports scene, adding that the deal would allow the two companies to continue delivering “enhanced experiences and in-game benefits” to players and fans.
