Rainbow Six Siege beta postponed less than a week before release, citing network issues

In a less than stellar omen for a game set to be released in merely 6 days, Rainbow Six Siege's open beta, slated to have been available as of now, has been delayed so that Ubisoft can fix the matchmaking issues currently keeping people from playing.

According to many people who played the previous closed beta for the game, the matchmaking wasn't up to snuff then either. It's a little disheartening to see that so close to release, the matchmaking still isn't working as it should be.

But, never fear! Ubisoft's community manager broke everything down on Ubisoft's forums, assuring everyone that they had already found the issue and that it should be fixed within a few hours. Most importantly, Ubisoft also promised that the issue would not affect the game's official launch on December 1st.

If for some reason the beta still isn't working soon, check here for updates on the status of the maintenance.
