With such a vast community, the demand for cross-platform play has been palpable. As of now, Rainbow Six Siege offers crossplay between PlayStation and Xbox users, as well as between PC and Luna. However, a notable absence is the crossplay between PC and console.
Beyond just playing with friends on different platforms, Rainbow Six Siege has also introduced cross-progression. By linking their accounts to Ubisoft Connect, players can access all their cosmetics, Renown, and R6 Credits, irrespective of the platform they’re on.
Ubisoft has clarified that there will never be crossplay between PC and PlayStation or Xbox. This decision stems from the inherent differences between PC and console gaming. While some argue that the keyboard and mouse setup offers quicker and more precise movements, others believe that the aim assistance on consoles gives controller users an edge.
While Rainbow Six Siege has been making waves in the crossplay department, Rainbow Six Mobile is charted on a different course. Ubisoft has yet to comment on crossplay for the mobile version, but given its distinct nature from Rainbow Six Siege, it’s likely to remain a standalone experience.
For those who prefer to stick to their platform, Rainbow Six Siege offers the option to disable crossplay. While this might increase matchmaking times, it ensures players have the experience they desire.
How to disable Crossplay in Rainbow 6 Siege?
- Launch Rainbow Six Siege and go to the settings menu.
- Proceed to the “general” section and scroll to “crossplay matchmaking.”
- Toggle this setting to “off.”
- Navigate to “crossplay communication” and disable this as well.
