Rainbow Six: Siege beta extended until October 1

Ubisoft has extended the beta for first-person shooter Rainbow Six: Siege.

The closed beta for Rainbow Six: Siege has been extended three days to October 1.

Ubisoft took the decision after problems with the game's technical test, where some players have been unable to connect to matches.

"The good news is that for those who have received their access, the experience has been trending positively," said the development team.

"We've been getting good feedback on the content of the beta, and matchmaking and server stability have already been improved.

"There are still a few issues to work out, of course, and we will continue to do that over the course of the beta. Given the current situation, we’ve made the decision to extend the Closed Beta by 3 days. It will run through Thursday, October 1st."

The developer is in the process of distributing more codes, and codes for pre-order customers have all gone out, it said.
