After Years, Rainbow Six Siege Will Finally Bring PC and Console Players Together
Ubisoft has finally listened to fans and announced that a cross-play option will soon be coming to Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Siege.
Nine years after its release, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Siege will finally get cross-play, allowing PC and console players to have fun together.
- The cross-play option will be added to Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Siege in an update that is set to launch on December 3rd. The update will be part of the 4th season in the 9th year of game development.
- Console players will be able to the matchmaking pool of PC players. It won't be possible the other way around. Thanks to this, console s who don't want to compete with PC players won't be forced to do so.
- To make all this work, Ubisoft is also preparing an update to the anti-cheat system. One of the introduced solutions will be to move console players who use a mouse and keyboard (which is prohibited) to the PC player pool for 90 days.
The 4th season of Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Siege will also introduce Operation Collision Point and gameplay balance changes.
Yesterday's record for game activity on Steam was 44,264 people playing at the same time. This is a very impressive result for a nine-year-old title that is also available on the Ubisoft platform. However, it cannot be denied that the project has lost some players in recent months. Just a few dozen days ago, daily records were several thousand people higher. We are curious how the game will perform in December, after the start of the new season.
