Updates & Roadmap: How Marketplace Changes Are Announced

Every real Marketplace change starts in the same place — an announcement from Ubisoft. This page explains where that news appears first, what kinds of changes to expect, and how we track them.

WHERE MARKETPLACE NEWS APPEARS FIRST

Ubisoft announces Marketplace changes through its own channels: the Rainbow Six Siege news pages on ubisoft.com, its Help articles about the Marketplace, and its official support and game accounts. A rule change, a status change or a reopening will always surface there first, in Ubisoft’s own words.

Everything else — news sites, videos, social posts, and this site — is a second-hand report of those announcements. That gap matters: second-hand reports regularly add dates, details and promises that the original announcement never made. When a claim matters to you, the check is simple: can you find it on an official Ubisoft page?

Official channels first, always.
//- 02 - KINDS OF CHANGES

THE KINDS OF CHANGES TO EXPECT

Marketplace changes tend to fall into a few buckets. Access and trading rules can be adjusted — the fee, the access conditions, the resale hold. Tradable items are managed in waves, because eligibility is set item by item by Ubisoft, and items from a current season become tradable in the following season. Status itself can change, as it did when the Marketplace was temporarily closed for improvements.

What we cannot give you is a schedule. Ubisoft has not published a dated roadmap for the Marketplace, and it has not announced a reopening date for the current closure. A page that lists upcoming Marketplace features with dates attached is guessing, however confident it sounds.

Rules, items and status can change.
//- 03 - HOW WE TRACK CHANGES

HOW THIS SITE TRACKS CHANGES

We watch Ubisoft’s official channels and update our guides when something is confirmed there. When Ubisoft changes a rule, the affected guide is revised to match, and claims that rest on reporting rather than an official statement are labelled as reported, not confirmed. If we get something wrong — or miss an official announcement — readers can flag it through Submit a Correction, and verified fixes are applied to the page.

The companion to this page is the Roadmap Tracker, which keeps the current board: what Ubisoft has confirmed, and what is still unannounced. This page explains how announcements work; the tracker shows where things stand today.

Tracked against the official wording.
//- 04 - WHAT WE WON'T PUBLISH

WHAT WE WILL NOT PUBLISH

No leaked dates presented as news. No rumour roundups dressed up as roadmap items. No countdowns to events Ubisoft has never scheduled. If a change is real, it will still be real when Ubisoft announces it — and you will read it here after that, with the source named.

No leaks, no rumours, no countdowns.
//- 05 - LIFE OF A CHANGE

THE LIFE OF A REAL CHANGE, STEP BY STEP

When Ubisoft genuinely changes something about the Marketplace, the sequence is predictable:

  • 1. An official announcement appears — a news post, a Help article update, or a post from an official support account, in Ubisoft’s own words.
  • 2. The details settle. Help articles are updated to match, and the exact wording — conditions, percentages, dates if any are given — becomes the reference everyone else should quote.
  • 3. Second-hand coverage follows. News sites, creators and sites like this one report the change. This is the stage where errors creep in: a “several months” becomes a specific month, a possibility becomes a promise.
  • 4. Our guides are revised. Pages affected by the change are updated against the official wording, and anything that cannot be verified is labelled as reported rather than confirmed.

If a claimed change skips stages one and two, it has not happened yet — whatever stage three is saying about it.

Four stages of a real change.
//- 06 - TEST A CLAIM

HOW TO TEST ANY MARKETPLACE CLAIM IN TWO MINUTES

You do not need insider knowledge to separate an announcement from a rumour — just a couple of checks, applied in order, before you repeat or act on anything you have read:

  • Find it on Ubisoft’s channels. Search Ubisoft’s Siege news and Help pages for the claim. Absence there is your answer.
  • Check for a date trick. “Expected in the coming months” and a named day are different claims. If only the second-hand version has the date, the date was invented in retelling.
  • Check who benefits. A reopening claim attached to a login page, a “verification” step or a downloadable tool is not news — it is bait wearing news as a costume.
  • Wait a day. Real announcements are still true tomorrow. Rumour posts rely on you not checking; official pages will still be there when you look.

None of these checks needs an account, a tool or insider access — just the habit of going to the source before repeating a claim. Most Marketplace misinformation survives purely because the two-minute check feels slower than sharing the post. It is not slower than acting on a wrong date, a wrong rule or a fake login page, which is what the unchecked version tends to cost.

Two minutes beats a wrong date.

Straight answers

WHERE NEWS APPEARS

On its own channels — the official Siege news pages, Ubisoft Help articles and official support accounts. If a claimed change cannot be found there, it has not been announced, whatever other sites say.

No, because Ubisoft has not published a dated feature roadmap to list. This page explains how announcements work and what kinds of changes exist; confirmed-versus-unannounced status lives on the Roadmap Tracker.

A few buckets. Access and trading rules can be adjusted — the fee, the access conditions, the resale hold. Tradable items are managed in waves, because eligibility is set item by item, and items from a current season become tradable in the following season. And status itself can change, as it did when the Marketplace was temporarily closed for improvements.

We watch Ubisoft’s official channels and update our guides when something is confirmed there. When Ubisoft changes a rule, the affected guide is revised to match, and claims that rest on reporting rather than an official statement are labelled as reported, not confirmed. If we miss an official announcement, readers can flag it through Submit a Correction, and verified fixes are applied to the page.

Because every source after Ubisoft’s own is a report of a report, and the retelling is where errors creep in: a “several months” becomes a specific month, a possibility becomes a promise. Everything else — news sites, videos, social posts, and this site — is second-hand, which is why the check is always whether you can find the claim on an official Ubisoft page.

TESTING A CLAIM

No. Ubisoft lists the Marketplace as temporarily closed while improvements are completed, says the work is expected to take several months, and has given no reopening date. Any date circulating elsewhere is unofficial.

In a predictable sequence: an official announcement appears in Ubisoft’s own words; the details settle as Help articles are updated to match; second-hand coverage follows; and our guides are revised against the official wording. If a claimed change skips the first two stages, it has not happened yet — whatever the coverage is saying about it.

Four checks, in order. Find it on Ubisoft’s channels — absence there is your answer. Check for a date trick — “expected in the coming months” and a named day are different claims. Check who benefits — a reopening claim attached to a login page or a “verification” step is bait, not news. And wait a day: real announcements are still true tomorrow.

Bait wearing news as a costume. A reopening claim attached to a login page, a “verification” step or a downloadable tool is not news — it is a scam pattern that depends on you not running the two-minute check.

No. No leaked dates presented as news, no rumour roundups dressed up as roadmap items, no countdowns to events Ubisoft has never scheduled. If a change is real, it will still be real when Ubisoft announces it — and you will read it here after that, with the source named.
