Background
The game, which costs around $5 on Steam, was released on October 8. It follows the classic formula of having two rival teams drop into deathmatch modes, this time fighting across Chicago.
A clip that has especially gone viral comes from Rainbow 6 Siege pro Merc, racking up more than five million views. In that, the TSM star goes on a killstreak, unlocking a ‘Snitch’ ability that works exactly like Call of Duty’s UAV.
Original tweet by Merc: "They must've forgot im from chicago".

Our read of the evidence
Mostly unverified. The only information about the game's release and viral status comes from Dexerto's reports; no primary source such as the developer or Steam data is cited to confirm those claims. Because the evidence rests solely on secondary reports and lacks independent verification, the claims remain mostly unverified.
Our rating counts evidence, not opinions about anyone: events confirmed by a primary source (the person's own post, their official site, a court or government record) weigh most, then how many independent outlets report the story.
