Welcome to the June monthly update where we're going to give you a quick rundown of the key elements for this release and the full patch notes. The highlight of this update is the new Help feature, where you can access support articles and gameplay tips directly through the overlay.

The new Help feature will be available through the overlay in Rainbow Six Siege, while in-game you can open the Help tab from the overlay where you can access support articles while playing! You're presented with a few different categories for the different articles and a search bar is available if you're looking for something specific. These articles cover a variety of topics such as guides on how to redeem extra content and troubleshooting steps for technical issues.

You can also find a section dedicated to Ubisoft Gameplan, a rich collection of community-produced walkthrough and help videos including general tips, Operator strategies, and much more! Want to pick up some new tricks before the next match starts? Or want to learn a new Operator? Check out Help without ever leaving the game!

We plan to roll out the Help feature to other games in the near future, so stay-tuned to learn more!

Starting very soon we'll also be rolling out the new chat service! It will be deployed to the desktop app on June 21st and will be made available in the overlay to everyone by the end of the month. Our aim was to build a new service from the ground up that offers more stability and reliability while also being easier to expand on in the future based on player feedback. Check the Chat article for more information.

As always if you have any questions make sure you follow our Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram to stay up to date with all things Ubisoft Connect. For the full rundown of the update check out the full patch notes below!
