LOS ANGELES, May 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Enthusiast Gaming Holdings Inc. (“Enthusiast Gaming'' or the “Company”) (TSX: EGLX), a leading gaming media and entertainment company, today announced that its premier data and analytics platform, U.GG, has expanded into Rainbow Six Siege, bringing its industry-leading tools and insights to one of Ubisoft’s most competitive and enduring tactical shooters.
This expansion comes as Rainbow Six Siege enters a highly anticipated new chapter with the upcoming Siege X platform update, an update designed to redefine the game’s ecosystem and reenergize the global player base, including the introduction of free-to-play access to certain of its most popular game modes. Viewership and player engagement have been on a steady rise, with renewed enthusiasm across the competitive and casual communities alike.

U.GG’s platform now offers Rainbow Six Siege players essential tools such as global leaderboards and in-depth player profiles that offer detailed stats, match history, and performance analytics.
Simultaneously, Enthusiast’s esports brand, Luminosity Gaming, will continue their involvement in the Rainbow Six Siege competitive arena, fielding an elite roster in the Rainbow Six North American Pro League. This involvement in Rainbow Six Siege esports represents a strategic investment in the game’s continued momentum and Enthusiast’s broader commitment to high-impact competitive titles.
“With Rainbow Six Siege entering a new era, we’re excited to support its growth and community with best-in-class insights and content,” said J.B. Elliott, Chief Strategy Officer at Enthusiast Gaming. “By leveraging multiple core brands throughout our portfolio, we are able to provide publishers with broad spectrum support that keeps their audiences even more engaged with their games, both during – and beyond – their gaming session.”
This launch reflects Enthusiast Gaming’s continued strategic focus on partnering with publishers to build stronger communities through data, content, and competitive infrastructure.
