Rainbow Six Siege is one of the most popular shooters out there. For Xbox and PlayStation players, details on how the game will play on next-generation consoles has been pretty sparse, but Ubisoft has now dropped all the information on upgrading your game, cross-progression, and gameplay performance.
Firstly, Siege is getting its next-gen enhancements on December 1. Console players can upgrade Rainbow Six Siege for free to next-gen, just so long as it's in the same console family (e.g. PS4 to PS5). However, this free upgrade won't apply to those with a physical copy of Siege if they've purchased a digital-only console.
All your progression and in-game items will also carry over to your new console thanks to Ubisoft Connect, but again it has to be in the same console family. Cross-generation play will also be supported, meaning Xbox Series X|S players can play with Xbox One players and PS5 players can play with PS4 players. However, full cross-play between all consoles and PC seems a way off, although Ubisoft says it is "exploring the possibilities."
