Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege is one of the most successful tactical shooters on the market. It debuted back at the end of 2015 for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC and later released on next-gen PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S precisely five years later. Throughout the years, it has cultivated quite the competitive scene and a sizeable player base. Given that it’s available on multiple platforms, a common question is if Rainbow Six Siege has crossplay and if there are any plans for it in the future. Here’s what we know so far.
Rainbow Six Siege Crossplay Compatibility
Ubisoft says that crossplay between PC and cloud gaming platforms is currently being tested. More information about crossplay and cross-progression will be announced on June 12, 2021, via Ubisoft Forward.
As of right now, it looks like PC and cloud gaming players are the only ones who should be excited about crossplay any time soon. However, fans on PlayStation and Xbox shouldn’t give up, as connectivity between those platforms is certainly not out of the question. However, Ubisoft is hesitant to link console and PC gamers together since the game requires fast reactions and precise aiming. This legitimate concern could disrupt many aspects of the games if the player pools were to mix.
Aside from these details, we haven’t heard much else on the Rainbox Six Siege crossplay front, but it’s a start to know they are testing the feature and hoping to release it sometime in 2021. Fans can tune in to the Ubisoft Forward stream on June 12 to learn more about crossplay and cross-progression. We expect this to include some crossplay-related details about platforms like Xbox and PlayStation.
Ubisoft Connect opens up the possibility of transferring your progress between multiple systems. Ubisoft will likely address many unanswered questions during the stream on June 12, so tune in if you’re curious about what the company has in store for Rainbow Six Siege crossplay this year and beyond. We will update this page when we have more information on the matter.
