The 10 new exclusive bundles are dedicated to R6 esports teams Dplus Kia, Falcons, Fluxo, Furia, M80, Scarz, Soniqs, Vivokeyd, W7m and Wylde. They are available for purchase in the game’s store.
R6 Share is a revenue-sharing agreement between Ubisoft and specific esports teams in Rainbow Six. The bundles allow fans to support their favourite teams as the revenue acquired from their sales is distributed among member teams. In this case, the partnered organisations will receive 50% of the generated revenue.
The bundles reveal comes ahead of the BLAST R9 Major Montreal 2024, for which teams can still qualify through their regional leagues and the Last Chance Qualifier. Taking place from November 7th-17th, the tournament invites 20 top R6 rosters to compete for a prize pool of $750,000 (~£560,000).
In July of last year, Ubisoft expanded its R6 share offering with new bundles featuring the likes of Wolves Esports, MIBR and MNM Gaming. This year, the developer continues to invest in the R6 esports scene. Ubisoft recently partnered with game data platform GRID to launch a data portal for the game’s esports organisations, to which teams were given access free of charge.
The R6 Invitational 2024 in February became the most viewed esports event in the history of the esport. Moreover, Ubisoft and BLAST have already announced France as the location for the 2025 edition.
