Rainbow Six Siege X developer Ubisoft has shared an update on new anti-toxicity measures arriving in the first-person shooter.

As part of the title’s Y10S3.3 patch, the developer has added voice chat moderation in a bid to minimise toxic behaviour during matches.

Unveiled on October 14th, 2025, players loading into casual and competitive matches will see a new panel highlighting ‘detected disruptive voice or text chat’ in-game.

Players who have a reputation standing of Respectable and above will have the ability to provide feedback on incorrect detections, ensuring the system issues the appropriate punishments.

In addition to the panel, all voice chat detections for players have been reset. As a result, the community will have a clean slate for the latest chapter of Rainbow Six Siege’s tenth year.

The arrival of anti-toxicity measures is the latest change Ubisoft has made to Rainbow Six Siege X, as it continues to address community concerns. Earlier this month, the developer revealed that improvements to anti-cheat, balancing, and the title’s ranked mode would be made before the Munich Major.

Taking place from November 8th to 16th, the BLAST R6 Munich Major is the final Major of 2025 and will see 16 teams competing for a share of a $750,000 (~£561,986) prize pool. The winner of the tournament earns direct qualification to the Six Invitational 2026.

October is a month of change for Ubisoft and the Rainbow Six franchise. The developer officially launched Vantage Studios, a new subsidiary that will oversee the title’s development and expansion in addition to the Assassin’s Creed and Far Cry franchises.

Toxicity In Esports

Rainbow Six Siege X is the latest title to implement new measures to combat toxicity across its casual and competitive playlists.

In May, Riot Games shared details on a new punishment system designed to punish bad behaviour and encourage players to be more respectful.

ESI Ranking System
We’ve created a ranking system to help you quickly know how good each gambling platform is. As gamblers ourselves, we know which factors matter most to you, so we follow a best-in-class methodology to test each one with no stone unturned. Once done, we then rank each platform based on the following tiers:
  • A-Tier High-quality sites that deliver a top experience every time. They boast strong performance, nice features, and reliable support, but are just shy of perfection.
  • B-Tier Solid platforms that are worth a spin. They’re safe, fun, and functional, but may be lacking advanced features or have minor drawbacks.
  • S-Tier Reserved for elite operators only. These go well beyond the norm with lucrative bonuses, rewarding promotions, lightning-fast payouts, and a flawless experience overall.
