Rainbow Six Siege has finally added cross-play and cross-platform multiplayer for PC, but Ubisoft has a different release window for the PS4 and Xbox One.
Although this feature is on PC only, for the time being, Ubisoft has released update Y6S2.1 for all platforms. The official patch notes state that players will see bug fixes for gameplay, operators, and level design so if this is something you’ve been eager for, your playtime has just gotten a little better.
Ubisoft’s implementation of cross-platform multiplayer feels somewhat underwhelming due to its staggered launch across all systems.

Does Rainbow Six Siege have cross platform multiplayer?
Rainbow Six Siege has cross platform multiplayer for PC, Google Stadia, and Amazon Luna.
This means players from across all three systems will now queue together in matchmaking which should deliver even quicker times. It’s disappointing that the feature is not available on console as it means cross-progression is very limited for the time being.
Is Rainbow Six Siege crossplay between PS4 and Xbox One?
Rainbow Six Siege is not crossplay between PS4 and Xbox One until early 2022.
This is the release window provided by Ubisoft, and it suggests the feature will be implemented on consoles during either January, February, or March next year. Just so you know, console players will not be able to compete against PC and vice versa.
It’s frustrating that PlayStation and Xbox will not be able to play with friends on computers, but there’s at least better news with cross-progression.
Cross-progression
Cross-progression is available between PC, Stadia, and Luna, and it will expand to consoles next year. This means PlayStation players will be able to transfer their progress over to PC or Xbox when the feature is available for every system.
Ubisoft’s utilisation of crossplay isn’t perfect due to all its restrictions and staggered launch, but at least Sony aren’t completely shafted unlike with Borderlands 3.
