If Rainbow Six Siege ranked mode is not showing your rank or not allowing you to play ranked, here are the main reasons and solutions based on recent issues and player experiences:
Why Ranked May Not Show Your Rank
- A known UI bug introduced with Operation Heavy Mettle prevents players from seeing their current rank in the Ranked playlist, even though progress is still tracked behind the scenes. Ubisoft is aware and working on a fix, so players are encouraged to continue playing normally until the issue is resolved
Why You Might Not Be Able to Play Ranked
- You must meet certain requirements to unlock Ranked mode, including reaching at least level 50 and owning 10 or more operators. If you meet these but still cannot play, it may be due to:
- Needing to complete new tutorials or placement matches if your account has been inactive for a season
* Having two-factor authentication (2FA) enabled with a linked phone number or authenticator app, which Ubisoft requires to access Ranked
* A temporary backend issue or maintenance causing Ranked to be unavailable; waiting and retrying later often resolves this
* Occasionally, a "ghost squad" bug can block access if the game mistakenly thinks you are in a squad with a low-level or non-existent player, requiring a restart or waiting for a fix
How to Fix Ranked Access Issues
- Complete any required tutorials or placement matches.
- Ensure your account has 2FA properly set up.
- Play and win about five quick or standard matches after a long inactivity period to unlock Ranked again
- Restart the game or your device to refresh your status
- Update the game to the latest version to avoid bugs
- If problems persist, check Ubisoft’s official channels for maintenance announcements or ongoing bug fixes
In summary, if your rank is not showing, it is likely a temporary UI bug being fixed by Ubisoft. If you cannot play Ranked, verify your account meets all requirements, complete any necessary matches, and ensure 2FA is enabled. Restarting the game and keeping it updated often resolves access issues
