Rainbow Six Siege has just topped it’s highest ever Steam concurrent-user peak, six years after its initial debut.
Thanks to the perfect storm of a free play event and fresh Year Six content, kicking off with the newly-released Crimson Heist, yesterday the shooter clocked up 201,053 concurrent users – it’s highest ever peak, according to SteamDB.

Prior to this new record, the highest number of concurrent users was set back in March 2020 with a little shy of 200,000 simultaneous players.
While many of us remain in lockdown right across the world, it’s nonetheless an impressive feat for a game over half a decade old. It’ll be interesting to see how many new recruits are tempted to stick around after the free event expires (thanks, PCGN).
