HEALTH
Operation Health is all about fixing several issues and investing in better technology to make sure we keep growing strong in the upcoming years.
As announced during the Six Invitational, game health is our priority. To achieve this goal we took the decision to fully dedicate the three months of Season 2 to improving our game. This means pushing back our season set in Hong Kong and launching instead, Operation Health.
Operation Health is all about fixing several issues and investing in better technology to make sure we keep growing strong in the upcoming years. This includes better servers, 1-step matchmaking, better deployment of updates, and many other improvements on issues that have been around for a long time.

100% SERVER-BASED FEATURES
Dedicated Voice and Party system
Less errors for players, more reliable
FASTER SERVERS
Higher tick rate & improved hit registration
3-STEPS DEPLOYMENT FOR NEW TECH FEATURES
Gradual deployment TTS → PC → CONSOLE for a more efficient quality control

OPERATION HEALTH ROADMAP
In terms of scheduling, the health roadmap below outlines our broader priorities and how they will be deployed over the next three months.
YEAR 2 ROADMAP
With Operation Health pushing back our season set in Hong Kong, we needed to rethink our Year 2 Roadmap. Hong Kong will be released in August as part of Season Three and South Korea in November during Season Four. While Poland no longer has a dedicated season, our GROM Operators will be released at the start of Season Three and Four.
Finally, we have decided to reduce the number of new maps to three this year (including the released map set in Spain) to truly prioritize our game’s health.
You can find below our updated Year 2 Roadmap:

TITLE UPDATE 2.1
The first major title update in Operation Health focuses heavily on implementing 1-Step Matchmaking and Interactive Matchmaking. This is a major technological improvement and so we will be using our new deployment process to ensure smooth delivery to all players. Title Update 2.1 is now available on all platforms.
The next update, patch 2.2.2, will be focused on issues with Hibana, Smoke grenade replication, aiming consistency, Alpha Pack Deployment, and other long-persisting issues. However, it should be noted that a lot of what we are working on regarding gameplay fixes will be arriving in Season 3.
1-STEP MATCHMAKING & INTERACTIVE MATCHMAKING
The health of the game is of utmost importance to the longevity of Rainbow Six Siege. We are implementing a lot of technical backend support. One these major technological improvements is the new 1-Step Matchmaking and Interactive Matchmaking.
1-Step Matchmaking is a streamlined updated which means more stability, and faster matchmaking results. Stability and performance is one of the primary goals for the dev team, and this is one giant step towards better performance and faster queue times.
Interactive Matchmaking allows you the freedom to purchase items from the shop, unlock new operators, and change your loadouts without leaving matchmaking. We are also introducing a post-match opt-in and opt-out flow so you or your party can choose to re-enter matchmaking to find a new game, return to the main menu, or continue to queue with the current players.
HITBOX REWORK
There will be a redesign of the hitboxes for all operators. The new design will make it so the hitbox only includes what you would think of as the human body. This means that baggy clothing, pouches, headgear, bags, accessories, etc. will not be included in the hitbox of all Operators. This change will impact present and future operators, and will allow for a full artistic freedom on character models and customization without a heavy impact on gameplay balancing.
