Rainbow Six Mobile launches Operation: Spotlight creator programme

Game developer and publisher Ubisoft has announced the launch of a creator programme for its upcoming mobile shooter, Rainbow Six Mobile.

The program is called Operation: Spotlight, a closed, invite-only programme supporting creators leading up to and beyond the game’s worldwide launch.

The Rainbow Six Mobile programme aims to support invited influencers by offering perks such as campaigns, in-game rewards, and direct communication with the developer via a private Discord server.

In a blog post on X, the developer shared that it is looking to invite more creators to the programme closer to the game’s full release, which is scheduled to go live globally on iOS and Android devices on February 23rd, 2026.

“Worldwide launch is just the beginning,” the Rainbow Six Mobile account wrote online. “And we’re ready to continue growing and supporting this incredible community.

“We can’t wait for you to watch the amazing content from the creators we’re partnering with – so keep an eye out for their videos and livestreams. And if you’re a creator yourself, we want to see what you’re making, so make sure to send links our way.”

The Rainbow Six franchise is well known for its competitiveness, with the main title, Rainbow Six Siege X, boasting a rich esports ecosystem, from its Tier 2 scene to the coveted Six Invitational crowning event.

By comparison, Rainbow Six Mobile has not created an established esports scene since it was first revealed. However, various community-organised events have been held since the game’s soft-launch, from the Nexo Cup and Fusion Winter Cup.

It remains to be seen whether Ubisoft will allow Rainbow Six Mobile to follow in the footsteps of its PC and console counterpart and establish an esports scene. Other developers, such as Krafton, run main and mobile esports scenes simultaneously for titles such as PUBG, so if there is enough interest and support, Ubisoft could follow suit.
