After Years, Rainbow Six Siege Will Finally Bring PC and Console Players Together

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.

1. 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.
2. Console players will be able to join the matchmaking pool of PC players. It won't be possible the other way around. Thanks to this, console users who don't want to compete with PC players won't be forced to do so.
3. 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.
