I would like to say sorry for 2 things in advance: English is not my native language, so not everything is perfectly pronounced or said, and number 2: I'm using my headset mic so the quality is a bit crap! Thx!
If anyone is still wondering, removing the starter edition will not remove your year pass and your progress is retained. So, do it when sales period comes.
Much appreciated guide, my man. I got the starter edition and found the game very fun, but couldn't take the grind anymore after putting in 50 hours just to unlock two base operators. I was considering throwing away my progression and making a new account just for the full game, but your guide saved me a load of time and effort! Thank you!
you should because its not stored on your steam acc but on the uplay acc if im right wont say you will, but you probably keep skins, lvl... edit: Yes you do just looked it up
I recently sold a cs:go knife and wanted the full game and got so depressed when i couldn't upgrade it. You my man are a life saver, so happy i found your video
Hey dude i would just like to thank you for this guide. I was wondering how i could get rid of the starter edition so i could just repurchase the standard edition. Straight to the point, simple, and short. Keep up the great work!
this is actually a nice way to get started off with the game... buy the starter edition, check whether you like it or not... if you did.... wait for sale and then buy the regular version.... smart
yes you sadly do, thats why it doesnt really help unless you buy it on sale. The problem I encountered was that I already had the starter edition and I wanted to buy the standard edition but it wouldnt let me since it said I already had the game.
I have heard that you get all 20 Standart characters on march.6 if you have the standartedition. If I upgrade from the starteredition to the standartedition did i get these all for free?
Allie Boy Because some people (like me) bought the cheaper version and thought we would earn all the operators, and got tired of the 15-25 hours per operator grind. It isn’t fun. Time has value, I (and others) learned that it’s worth the extra money only after we started playing the game and we want to skip all of the crap and actually be able to play as more operators.
And by the way if follow this steps completely you dont need to delete game files using steam unistall! So you dont need to download the game again! So just delete Starter edition, get standart or somthing else and jump straight into the game!
Hello , i done your guide , and then im trying to play normal edition , and when it starts , uplay is asking for CD Key , i dont have it on mail from steam when i bought it , also i dont have it in properties on library steam , what can i do to solve that?
I didn't get it m8 ! you delete the game from your account for purchasing the 39.99 edition ? But you pay 15 less because you had the starter edition or not ? So you pay 24.99 ?
you can save money if it aint on offer because if you just want all the operators just buy 4200 r6 credits and that will give you enough to buy all the operators i say do this because in GBP the game is £35 and the r6 credits are £30 plus you will have extra because you already have a few ops :)
I bought starter edition and opened all operators including DLCs. I spent for about 400 hours to open them all. It was hard. But I played cs:go for 2000 hours and Dota 2 for 6000 hours. So, rainbow six starter edition is good option if you really like this game
Hey dude great vid, just wanted to ask a quick question. When i do this process can i buy a different version of the game(like Gold or complete) before i remove the starter edition or must i remove then buy again. Thank you 👍👍
man you can't buy anything when you have starter edition in your library. After you removed the game from your library you can get whatever version you want and it will work! Better later then never to help a fella out since only 8 months have passed XD
Thank youuuu!!!! I’m going to buy the full version on sale during the winter sale. So sick of only having 4 operators for ranked XD . Also, when you upgrade, do you keep the operators (for example I bought blackbeard with R6 credits do I have to buy him again when I upgrade)?
Anyone who's actually done this leave a comment? I appreciate the video tutorial and all, I just have a paranoia of having that cd key of your starter edition stuck in your uplay acc.
Didn't work out for me. I got the operators of deluxe edition (S1-2). However prices of the unlocked ones still stay the way they were. A sort of bug happened I guess. Although I removed the started edition from my acc on steam, It's still there and encounters a problem when I try to remove it once more.
So I bought the advanced edition and the deluxe edition is on sale for $11.99 and I want to buy it, but idk if I have to reload the game with new data for the characters and other items
The sale is still going, and I can ensure you that you don't lose any progress since all of it is stored in your Uplay account where you play the game on even though you launch it on Steam. So as long as you don't have multiple Uplay accounts it should be very very simple. So that means if you have any year passes or cosmetics or have put any extra money into the game it of course will not delete that.
Do you have to Redownload it again? I've asked this question but no answer NVM someone answered my question lol thanks again dude! Btw did you change your name?
no I didn't :3 and sorry for not answering, this is actually not my main account I use, so I only check this account like once every week/two weeks! Glad that someone else was able to help!
I would like to say sorry for 2 things in advance: English is not my native language, so not everything is perfectly pronounced or said, and number 2: I'm using my headset mic so the quality is a bit crap! Thx!
es tu francais ??
I'm dutch sorry xD
If you have played the standers edition for let's say 15 hours will you keep the hours? So if you upgrade it will say that you played it for 15 hours?
I'm not sure about the hours but you will keep your progress
thi_jo Medievel, Strategy, Sci-fi gameplay okay thanks
If anyone is still wondering, removing the starter edition will not remove your year pass and your progress is retained. So, do it when sales period comes.
OMG thank you SO much, this question has been asked to me about 10-20 times already and I didn't know the answer!
Will you keep your skins?
King Cyrus yes
TNX
Can I buy a key at G2A or so ? Or do I need to buy directly
Quick+simple+consistent = great vid. Nothing else to say!
No dubstep music, no flafla and explosions, just the actual stuff and information need.
thank you :)
Man ubisoft actually should add functions like "Upgrade your versions of R6!"
thank you so much
np :)
Much appreciated guide, my man. I got the starter edition and found the game very fun, but couldn't take the grind anymore after putting in 50 hours just to unlock two base operators. I was considering throwing away my progression and making a new account just for the full game, but your guide saved me a load of time and effort! Thank you!
No problem!
This worked a treat. Thanks for the help mate.
no problem m8
do u keep the skins and the lvl?
you should because its not stored on your steam acc but on the uplay acc if im right wont say you will, but you probably keep skins, lvl... edit: Yes you do just looked it up
I recently sold a cs:go knife and wanted the full game and got so depressed when i couldn't upgrade it. You my man are a life saver, so happy i found your video
I am happy to help! I hope you enjoy your grind-free r6s experience!
Worked for me thanks man
np ;)
Just To Know it Wotked Rigth? Did you Still have your'e Dlc's? Like Y2 Season Pass or One of the Dlc Weapon Skins?
yes, it keeps EVERYTHING including DLC and skins and therefore also the year pass!
Hey dude i would just like to thank you for this guide. I was wondering how i could get rid of the starter edition so i could just repurchase the standard edition. Straight to the point, simple, and short. Keep up the great work!
thank you :)
Can I upgrade from starter edition to Gold edition the same way?
yes it is
this is actually a nice way to get started off with the game... buy the starter edition, check whether you like it or not... if you did.... wait for sale and then buy the regular version.... smart
At the time of watching this video, there was not the same ui. I'm confused
I just checked after reading this and for me its all the same...
thi_jo Medievel, Strategy, Sci-fi gameplay somehow for me it's not..............
alright, what version of Steam are you running?
thi_jo Medievel, Strategy, Sci-fi gameplay hold up a sec
thi_jo Medievel, Strategy, Sci-fi gameplay idk if this is it, but my steam API says it's v017
thank you sooo much
you're welcome
This video is nearly a year old but thanks mate this worked a treat ♥
bro you are amazin thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️😂👍
glad to help!
it took him 2 minutes and 44 seconds to tell you to refund it and buy it in a sale .... that's how you "upgrade" Thanks man really helpful
xD, I'm pretty mad at Uplay for not just putting an "upgrade" button somewhere so you can do it easier...
so u have to buy the whole game again or justa the difference?
yes you sadly do, thats why it doesnt really help unless you buy it on sale. The problem I encountered was that I already had the starter edition and I wanted to buy the standard edition but it wouldnt let me since it said I already had the game.
Your progress seems to be saved to uplay instead of steam, so I don't think so.
You keep your progress if you link your uplay account to the new game
so did it work for you?
Yes I have all my operators
THANKS IT WAS EXTREAMLY HELPFUL
Happy to help!
thanks soo much helped a ton
happy to help
Yo i know this is an older video but bro thank you. Just saved me
Epic, glad I could help
Wait so if I buy the starter edition then I won't get the standard edition reduced price?
KeyBrute89 no m8 cause u buy the same game it's like u buy it for the first time
You get access to the full game and all its assets, how ever you will unlock other operators much much slower than the normal edition.
no you wont, Ubisoft should fix this but for now you're gonna have to do this
exactly
thi_jo Medievel, Strategy, Sci-fi gameplay all i want to do is if i buy the normal edditon from g2a will it be ok
Thanks for the help mate, real life and time saver!
I have heard that you get all 20 Standart characters on march.6 if you have the standartedition. If I upgrade from the starteredition to the standartedition did i get these all for free?
ye
fucking awesome. EXACTLY What i was looking for. even ubisoft couldnt answer me on this. im subscribing mate you deserve it
thank you! I know Ubisoft is a bit incompetent on this subject xD
Does this still work? In the steam store I searched up, Rainbow six siege standard edition and nothing shows up Plz help
yes
Thank you so much dude. I was pissed then you drop a video and my proplem was solved
does this work if i am trying to upgrade to the complete edition?
yes it works, I just done it myself
@@Frawzss did you keep all of your progress from your account previously?
@@MW3PWNAGE101 yea I did
Just a tip, if you want to upgrade, you might as well just buy the renown to purchase all the ops. It amounts to the same price.
So you just remove your game, and buy it again? That means you pay for the game twice as much?
Yes indeed, that's why this is only benefitial when it's on sale, it's what I did and a lot of other commenters did too.
It's still better than grinding for hours only to unlock an operator in my opinion
Adi Satria yep...I'm planning to Buy R6SStandardE. I have The starter
+Adi Satria then just buy the standard edition in the beginning, tf is the point of this??
Allie Boy Because some people (like me) bought the cheaper version and thought we would earn all the operators, and got tired of the 15-25 hours per operator grind. It isn’t fun. Time has value, I (and others) learned that it’s worth the extra money only after we started playing the game and we want to skip all of the crap and actually be able to play as more operators.
Thank you so much this helped me a lot
Do you keep your progress ingame? Like the Level and operators etc?
yes
Just did it, I kept all my levels, and ops (prices went down and stuff so its working)
I am 30000% sure :)
good!
You bought starter edition then bought normal edition and after that you removed starter , right ?
Thank you. You helped me escape a nightmare.
so if i remove the game i will need to buy the standard edition?
yes
So guys i just did this. It works. Thank fuck. You keep all your ops that you’ve bought and all your skins. You just pay for the standard. TY!
:)
what if i buyed a skin through steam, will it stay?
yes as long as you dont sell the skin
Thank you! Everything worked by following this steps!
great to hear!
And by the way if follow this steps completely you dont need to delete game files using steam unistall! So you dont need to download the game again! So just delete Starter edition, get standart or somthing else and jump straight into the game!
oh ok i was wondering if i had to uninstall the game and reinstall it again
no you dont have to reinstall it
ok thanks
Does your hours played reset?
nope
Thanks man this was a big help
Steel work?
U got banned?
Yes it still works.
No I did not get banned.
Just did this today. Thank you so much
you are welcome, enjoy your standard edition!
Hello , i done your guide , and then im trying to play normal edition , and when it starts , uplay is asking for CD Key , i dont have it on mail from steam when i bought it , also i dont have it in properties on library steam , what can i do to solve that?
ah, I have this too, you will have to start up Uplay and start it from there, not from Steam it wont work sometimes.
Thank YOU SOO MUCH I ALWAYS HATED THE GRINDING
You're welcome and same, I hate grinding!
I didn't get it m8 ! you delete the game from your account for purchasing the 39.99 edition ? But you pay 15 less because you had the starter edition or not ? So you pay 24.99 ?
it was on sale
I bought it on sale, its not worth it unless its on sale!
Dude... Thanks so much!
You, my friend, are very welcome :)
Did you have to download the game again from zero?
Thank you so much, this has been very helpful.
Bro..thank you so much..i bought the advance edition and this video really help me alot..thank you~
No problem my good sir!
Thank you so much for this video. I've always wanted to get the normal edition but it never let me and I didn't know how to get it. So thank you! 🙂👍
No problem :)
Video was helpful, thanks.
Happy to help!
Thanks dude it worked!
Thank you very much my dude. it worked :D
you can save money if it aint on offer because if you just want all the operators just buy 4200 r6 credits and that will give you enough to buy all the operators i say do this because in GBP the game is £35 and the r6 credits are £30 plus you will have extra because you already have a few ops :)
Thanks man, massive help
I wanted to ask does this work on for honor
The principle is the same so it should
omg dude ty
i was getting kinda worried i would no be able to upgrade it hahaha
No problem, it's kindof weird that Steam doesn't let you upgrade isn't it?
thi_jo Medievel, Strategy, Sci-fi gameplay yeah.... i guess Tey make it that way so you need to rebuy the game 😒
It realy helped me. Thanks
glad to help
It works for the skeptical between us. 2 of my friends got this.
you know if it needs to download again?
LeLord basicly go into your steam folder and add some word to the folder name then change versions and change the name back. So no dont need to!
wow men thx so so much. now i am subscriber
thx for the support!
Thanks this helped a lot :D
thanks bruv now i got a new technique to prank my friends :D
Thank you man!! You saved me

THANKS FOR THE HELP MAN
Happy to help!

Thank you so much it was too mush effort grinding for the defenders.

I bought starter edition and opened all operators including DLCs. I spent for about 400 hours to open them all. It was hard. But I played cs:go for 2000 hours and Dota 2 for 6000 hours. So, rainbow six starter edition is good option if you really like this game

happy to help mate!
Thnks bro! Very helpfull😊
Thank you. I’ve had starter pack for over a year and I hated it.
Thank you having the same problem I only had one operator after a week of playing
you're welcome
Anyone who's actually done this leave a comment? I appreciate the video tutorial and all, I just have a paranoia of having that cd key of your starter edition stuck in your uplay acc.
Have you looked through the comments yet? About a hundred people have confirmed it works. :)
Thank You It Work :3
np :D
You could probably do it without having to remove it from your steam account by using uplay
Didn't work out for me. I got the operators of deluxe edition (S1-2). However prices of the unlocked ones still stay the way they were. A sort of bug happened I guess. Although I removed the started edition from my acc on steam, It's still there and encounters a problem when I try to remove it once more.
Thank you very helpful
no problem!
Thank you! no more grinding for me :D
That#s what I'm talking about! :D
Thank you for your video.
No problem :)
So I bought the advanced edition and the deluxe edition is on sale for $11.99 and I want to buy it, but idk if I have to reload the game with new data for the characters and other items
Can you please reply so I know that it’ll just give me the items on my current account and not on a new one
Thanks if you have the starter pack do this trick it work 👍😎
Standard today is 10. I'm scared to delete and permanently remove rainbow 6 starter edition. From my account. I you positive this works?
Im having the same thoughts as u
@@rcburning12 I've decided not to buy it. It would be a waste of 15 dollars.
The sale is still going, and I can ensure you that you don't lose any progress since all of it is stored in your Uplay account where you play the game on even though you launch it on Steam. So as long as you don't have multiple Uplay accounts it should be very very simple.

I did this already and im happily using my tachanka and i opened the operation outbreak packs i got for free. Ez
@@sirjoey3137 But are you sure?
Do you have to Redownload it again? I've asked this question but no answer
NVM
someone answered my question lol thanks again dude! Btw did you change your name?
no I didn't :3 and sorry for not answering, this is actually not my main account I use, so I only check this account like once every week/two weeks! Glad that someone else was able to help!
Its not working for me.When i click to delete the starter edition, i lost my game.. (Sorry for my bad english.)
I know this comment was a year ago, but after you to move it from your account, you need to buy the game again
