The popular content creator VarsityGaming proposed eliminating the Rainbow Six Siege Technical Test Server (TTS) and releasing new seasons immediately after their presentation. His opinion was supported by BikiniBodhi and GiD, adding weight to the initiative.

How the TTS Came About and Its Purpose

The Technical Test Server (TTS) has existed in Siege since the early years of the game. It is used to test the stability of new operators, maps, and mechanics before the main season launches. This system allows Ubisoft to identify bugs in advance and avoid widespread issues at launch.

Over time, the TTS has become a familiar tool for esports players and enthusiasts, but also a source of leaks and spoilers, which often diminishes the element of novelty before the official release.

What VarsityGaming Proposed

Recently, VarsityGaming expressed an "unpopular opinion," stating that the test server should be closed and new seasons released on Tuesday right after the presentation. In his view, this would restore a sense of anticipation and give releases more momentum.

Content creators BikiniBodhi and GiD supported Varsity's stance. According to BikiniBodhi, the TTS "makes the season release less impressive" because players have the opportunity to explore the content in advance. GiD added that the test server is rarely used anyway and suggested an alternative—grant early game test access to select esports players and content creators to help identify errors before the update's release.

If Ubisoft indeed decides to reconsider the test format, it could change the rhythm of the entire content cycle of Rainbow Six Siege. Moving away from the TTS would shorten the time between announcement and release but would increase the workload on developers and internal QA teams.
