Rainbow Six Siege adds cross-play and cross-progression for PC and cloud platforms this month

Features also coming to consoles in early 2022

Ubisoft has detailed its launch plans for Rainbow Six Siege cross-play and cross-progression.

Both features will be enabled for PC, Amazon Luna and a new Stadia version of the game on June 30.

Cross-play will be available between Xbox and PlayStation consoles in early 2022, when cross-progression will be enabled across all platforms.

“For these updates, we needed a bit more time in order to prepare and make sure they have a smooth launch,” said Guillaume Gad, associate producer at Ubisoft Montreal.

“We know cross-play is a feature a lot of you have been anticipating and we are thrilled to see the enthusiasm its announcement has inspired.”

Ubisoft Montreal IT director Paul Vlasie also said: “Bringing these player bases together benefits everyone. It will finally allow you to play with your friends across different platforms.

“It also means that your progression will now follow you anytime and anywhere you play.”

The second season of Rainbow Six Siege Year 6, North Star, launches on June 14, introducing the new operator Thunderbird and the reworked map Favela, amongst other updates.

Earlier on Saturday, Ubisoft premiered the first official Rainbow Six Extraction gameplay and announced a mid-September release date for the title.
