Rainbow Six Siege: Patch 2.3 live on Xbox One, PS4 April 5th; Ranked experience, balancing tweaks included

Ubisoft's Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege just recently received a new patch 2.3 that brings bug fixes on several issues, tweaks on operators, matchmaking, and many more.

In a report by International Business Times, the 617 megabytes patch has been live beginning March 30 for PCs and tentatively, for the PS4 and Xbox One on April 5.

It is also said that the main purpose of the patch is to "improve upon the Ranked experience as well as the general balancing of the game," said Ubisoft in a forum post.

Below are some of the patch notes for Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege Patch 2.3:
