“Rainbow Six Siege<\/a> has Steam achievements” may not immediately strike you as the most interesting news ever, but it is interesting for one simple reason: It took 10 years\u2014an entire decade\u2014to happen.<\/p>\n

The big news was announced in a very low-key fashion: “We are pleased to announce that Steam Achievements are now available for Rainbow Six Siege!” Ubisoft wrote on Steam<\/a>. It also confirmed that, thankfully, the Steam cheevos will be granted retroactively, so you won’t have to redo everything you’ve already done to earn them: Any previously unlocked Ubisoft Connect achievements will be automatically unlocked on Steam the next time you log into the game.<\/p>\n

Ubisoft didn’t say exactly why a game that came out in 2015, and that transformed itself into the free-to-play Rainbow Six Siege X<\/a> earlier this year, is suddenly now getting Steam achievements. But at this point I think we can safely say that it’s kind of the Ubisoft way<\/em>: After trying its luck with Epic Games Store exclusivity<\/a>, Ubisoft came crawling back to Steam<\/a> (just like everyone else<\/a>) in 2024, and it’s been slowly but surely adding achievements to long-neglected games ever since.<\/p>\n
