Top tennis star bundle slams into Rainbow Six Siege in perfectly-timed crossover

He has a new Backcourt to fight for now.

One of the biggest ATP stars in the last few years, Daniil Medvedev, has joined Rainbow Six: Siege in a hilarious and perfectly timed crossover.

In an X post on Aug. 25, Ubisoft revealed the tennis player’s Rainbow Six: Siege bundle, which contains a Medvedev-inspired headgear, uniform, charm, and MP7 weapon skin. You can pick up the Bandit Daniil bundle from the in-game shop for free until Sept. 8, but you need to pay to claim it afterward.

The bundle’s uniform and headgear feature a lot of blue, with the hat and inside of the jacket both sky blue. While blue could simply be Medvedev’s favorite color, we suspect there’s a reason for the choice.

The Russian tennis star has multiple titles to his name, including six Masters, 20 ATP Tour singles, and one Grand Slam. The latter is a victory at the 2021 US Open, which has a blue, hard surface. Perhaps this is why Medvedev chose blue as the main color of his in-game cosmetics. If that’s true, Ubisoft couldn’t have chosen a better time to launch this bundle, with the 2024 US Open beginning last week and lasting until Sept. 9, the day after the bundle’s free availability in the shop.

Medvedev has long been a fan of both gaming and esports. Last year, he became a co-owner of the North American esports organization, M80, joining the growing list of renowned athletes who have invested in esports, with others including David de Gea, David Beckham, and Sergio Agüero.
