Rainbow Six Siege players will soon be able to sell their in-game skins

Valve has made a ton of money off the Steam Marketplace, making skins and the cases to obtain them available to buy and sell amongst players of games like Counter-Strike and Dota 2. Now, it would seem other publishers are catching on, with Ubisoft set to introduce a skin marketplace for Rainbow Six Siege. 

Ubisoft has announced plans to bring a skin marketplace to Rainbow Six Siege. Players will soon be able to put their cosmetics up for sale, but you won't be able to get Ubisoft Store credit to purchase other games or content for other titles. Instead, the Rainbow Six Siege marketplace will be self-contained, with players trading in R6 Credits, which can then be used within Rainbow Six Siege to purchase other skins, or content like new operators, season passes or Renown boosters.

This dampens some of the appeal, limiting interest in the marketplace to those who regularly play Rainbow Six Siege. This should help reduce interest from third-party skin-dealing sites or skin-gambling sites, which is an issue Valve has faced with games like CS:GO and now, Counter-Strike 2.

Given how long Rainbow Six Siege has been around for at this point, there are surely going to be some long-time players with unused skins stashed away, or skins that are no longer available, so it will be interesting to see if the new skin marketplace becomes popular.

KitGuru Says: We don't have an exact date for the marketplace going live, but it should become available in 2024. Importantly, it looks like this system has nothing to do with the Ubisoft Quartz platform, the company's seldom-used NFT platform.
