Ubisoft released a new Rainbow Six Siege update earlier in the week that adjusted the surrender system in place that allows players to call it quits early. The adjustments aren’t huge ones, but they do make it so that the teams that want to quit must achieve a unanimous vote to do so. You can also still only surrender once the third round has begin, so anyone who has a bad round to start a match will have to stick around to at least try before they can surrender.

The update for Rainbow Six Siege is currently on the test servers, so it’s not live yet for everyone. Those who have been active on those testing grounds will have had a chance to try out the updated surrender system by now. For those who haven’t, Ubisoft shared the patch notes for the surrender changes to show how the tweaked system works.

Surrender

Surrender now requires a unanimous vote.
Surrender feature is now only available if the team is currently losing in rounds
Surrender is still only available starting with the 3rd round

While that’s the only notable change that earned its own section in the patch notes, there are some other parts of the update to take note of if there’s a bug that’s been frustrating you. A series of bugs were fixed in the update, all of those seen below.
