Ubisoft is reportedly reconsidering its plan of action for developing new games, and might have binned an entire game because it didn’t deliver on its new objectives. That game was meant for a Q1 2020 launch, but slid to the winter of 2020, due to the poor performance of The Division 2. The move to make Rainbow Six Siege available on the next generation of hardware may tide players over til they get their mitts on Rainbow Six Quarantine. “I don’t think there will ever be console cross-play with PC,” said Athanassof.

PC players aren’t counted in this, though. It’s just a matter of time before it happens.” And hopefully, this will happen because as I said, it’s a general move in the industry, and there is nothing that can prevent that. We would love to be fully cross-play-have Xbox players matchmaking against the PlayStation players. The game apparently still has a lot more to offer players, and Ubisoft says it isnt keen on giving up on its critically acclaimed online. “This is more a discussion between Microsoft and Sony. Current-gen players of Rainbow Six Siege may not need to worry about jumping ship to the next big thing in multiplayer shooters when the ninth console generation rolls out, as the punishingly tactical FPS is evidently coming to the PS5 and next-gen Xbox. So, we want people who buy the new system right away to play it with their friends,” stated Athanassof, but clarified that cross-platform play is a work in progress.

Moreover, the game will feature cross-generation play between the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 and between the Xbox One and the Xbox Series X. For Siege, our target is to be available right at launch.” When they will release the consoles but it’s up to them to agree that. “What I can tell you is that we are going to be on from launch. “Why I can’t give you a date is because those dates are, in the end, on the people doing the next-gen consoles,” explained Athanassof. As a result, the game will be available when the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X debut in the latter half of this year, though Ubisoft is unable to say when that would be. Hundreds of developers comprise its Rainbow Six Siege team, and they are focused on optimising the game for the next generation of gaming.
In an interview with Windows Central, director Leroy Athanassof broke the news. Ubisoft confirmed that Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege will be coming to the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X as soon as launch, and will include cross-generation play (via Engadget).
