Rainbow Six: Siege seasonal weapon skins get a price increase

Ubisoft is figuring out this live-services thing as it goes along with games like Rainbow Six: Siege. It knows it wants to run the tactical shooter as a platform on PC and consoles, but it is still figuring out the sweet spot for pricing on a lot of its digital goods. The latest evidence of this is that the company has raised the prices for its latest seasonal weapon skins that launched today.

With the launch of Siege’s Operation Chimera update today, Ubisoft added The Rusty Trigger and The Ancestral Southwest weapon skins to the Siege store. Players can buy these skins for 27,000 renown or 660 credits. Renown is the in-game currency you earn at the end of each match. Credits are the premium currency you get through spending real-world money. Both of those prices are slightly up from the last round of seasonal skins that Ubisoft sold for 25,000 renown and 600 credits.
