When it comes to the action FPS multiplayer tactical video games by Ubisoft, Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege is one of them. As the game has a separate fanbase, the gaming experience never goes down with the new patch updates periodically. In tactical FPS video games, having the best operators can help win matches and complete several crucial missions. But if a few operators aren’t available all of a sudden, then what will you do? It seems that Rainbow Six Siege Operators Missing have become a common issue.
Many reports surfaced on forums that Rainbow Six Siege operators are missing unexpectedly, even after purchasing them and having them for a while. This specific issue only happens with the Xbox console gamers, where the Rainbow Six Siege Delux Edition players cannot retrieve the Year 1 and Year 2 operators by any means. Though the game shows that an add-on doesn’t need to be installed, only the Year 1 or 2 operators aren’t showing up.

Fix: Rainbow Six Siege Operators Missing 2024
As you can see in the following tweet by a Rainbow Six Siege player on the Xbox platform, almost 8 operators from year 1 have disappeared, and even downloading them back didn’t help. Whereas some of the installed DLCs are also uninstalled out of nowhere. Luckily, the Ubisoft Support Twitter team has responded to this issue and clarified that it may have gone missing due to the conflict during the cross-progression. But they can restore the missing operators if everything is fine with the game account.
It seems your year 1 operators aren't showing up, but we'd be happy to help you get them back! Can you DM us with a link to this tweet, as well as your Ubisoft username and email? It's possible this happened when cross-progression but we can look into restoring them!

Fortunately, here we’ve shared with you a couple of possible workarounds that should come in handy. So, without further ado, let’s jump into it.
1. Restart the Xbox Console
It’s highly recommended to simply restart the Xbox console manually to check if the temporary glitch or cache data issue has been cleared or not. By doing so, multiple issues with the system performance and in-game conflicts will be fixed.
2. Power Cycle the Xbox Console
Performing a power cycle method on your Xbox console is worth mentioning to ensure there is no issue with the device firmware or glitch. A normal reboot might not work in most cases and requires a power cycle process to clear out temporary glitches or cache data issues. To do this:
- Power Off the Xbox console > Unplug the power cable from the console and power source.
- Now, wait for around 30 seconds, and then plug back the power cable in.
- Make sure to turn on the Xbox console and check whether the issue has been fixed or not.
3. Sign Out and Remove the Xbox Account
You should also sign out of the Xbox profile on your Xbox console and then sign back into the account to check for the issue again.
- Press the Xbox button on the controller to open the Guide menu.
- Select Profile & System > Choose Settings.
- Go to Account > Select Remove accounts.
