Rainbow Six Siege has been dated for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S

Ubisoft has confirmed plans to release Rainbow Six Siege for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S on December 1, 2020.

The PS5 and Xbox Series X versions will allow gameplay in 4K and up to 120fps, depending on the mode selected by players (performance or resolution), while the Xbox Series S version will offer 1080p gameplay.

Current-gen console players will receive the next-gen versions as a free update, Ubisoft said, and players will keep their progression and in-game content. The game will be cross-generation, meaning next-gen players will be able to play with current-gen players on the same family of devices.

The next-gen versions of the game also promise improved accessibility (readability options, text to speech and speech to text), and a streamlined login and intro sequence to get players into the action faster.

Rainbow Six Siege has amassed over 65 million registered players since releasing in December 2015, according to Ubisoft.

“We’re in this for the long run and we have plans for years to come,” creative director Leroy Athanassoff said in September.

Athanassoff previously said the development team at Ubisoft Montréal wants the title to go free-to-play one day.
