GRID Launches Rainbow Six Esports Siege Data Portal

In-game data platform GRID and France-based publisher Ubisoft announced Monday the release of the Rainbow Six Siege Data Portal (R6DP), the first data portal for Rainbow Six Siege Esports professional teams. According to a release, the portal will be available for professional teams in the BLAST R6 esports ecosystem free of charge in the coming weeks.

This new portal is the result of a multi-year partnership signed in 2023 between GRID and Ubisoft to design and launch the first “Esports Live Data Platform for Rainbow Six Esports.” This agreement allowed GRID to have access to “official data assets for commercial partners at the 2023 BLAST R6 Atlanta Major.”

So what is the purpose of the R6DP? According to GRID:

“The R6DP allows teams to easily search, query, filter or download data from matches to enable data-driven talent evaluation, strategy analysis, and more. The system is easy-to-use, enables fully-automated ingestion and allows private data access through a secure application-based user interface.”

Teams will get access to R6DP during the Stage 1 of the2024 Season, leading into the upcoming BLAST R6 Manchester Major, May 16-26, according to the announcement. 

In case you are not familiar with the company, GRID describes itself as “the official data platform for League of Legends, VALORANT, Rainbow Six Siege, and PUBG — and a trusted data partner within the CS2 and Dota2 esports ecosystems.” It provides in-game telemetry data sourcing (GRID Game SDK), analytics, integrity, and distribution in competitive game titles for AAA publishers and independent game studios.”
