Rainbow Six Siege’s closed multiplayer beta has been extended by three days to Thursday, October 1, Ubisoft has announced. The beta had previously been due to end later today.

The multiplayer beta offers access to three game modes – TDM Bomb, TDM Secure Area and online/offline Terrorist Hunt – but has faced major issues with matchmaking, preventing many players from being able to find online games. Judging by the Rainbow Six Twitter account, the game has also been hit by server degradation and outages across PS4, Xbox One and PC, too.

Access to the beta is only available to those who pre-ordered the game, redeemed a guaranteed access code or received an invitation. Many players were frustrated, however, over Ubisoft’s decision to roll out access in waves across the weekend, reducing their potential playtime.

Rainbow Six Siege launches on PS4, Xbox One and PC on December 1.
