Rainbow Six Siege Stuck on Validating and Updating: How to Fix

Tired of Rainbow Six Siege being stuck on validating and updating? There's a few quick and easy solutions you can try at home.

First, check your internet connection. Just because you're on Wi-Fi, doesn't mean you have internet connection. If you're connected to the internet and Siege still won't update, check your disk space. Computers and consoles only have so much space before they cannot store any more data. Siege requires about 60GB the first time you download it.

If you don't have the space, you'll have to make some and delete something you don't need. If you have enough space but still can't download, check the status of the Ubisoft servers. Not only does the game update weekly, but the servers also could go under maintenance.

If nothing has worked to this point, try resetting your system. Restarting your console or computer may end up auto updating the game automatically. On top of that, it will refresh your connection to the Ubisoft servers and other networks.

Lastly, give the game some time to work through its updates and verifications. Updates, especially large ones, can take a decent amount of time to download. Patience is always a virtue.
