Rainbow Six Siege is heading to PS5 and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Xbox Series X, launchin🃏g on the same day as the consoles. 

That's ൩accord😼ing to game director Leroy Athanassof, who was speaking to

Athanassof said, "What I can tell you is that we are going to be on [the consoles] from launch. When they will release the consoles; but it's up to them to agree that. For Siege, our target is to be available right at laun𓂃ch."

It's not the only next-gen news that came from Athanassof about Rainbow Six Siege, as they also spoke about cross-generational multiplayer coming to the shooter, "That means if you play on the next PlayStation, you will be able to matchmake with the previous PlayStation." If you're not getting a PS5 or Xbox Series🌃 X at the same time as your mates, it seems like Siege will be a good place to keep your gaming habits intact. 

Outside of cross-generation𝔍al multiplayer, Athanassof also talked about cross-platform play and cross-platform progression. The game d꧒irector said that the team hopes to implement cross-platform progression at some stage, enabling players to move accounts across platforms. 

But when it comes to playing matches across platforms, Athnasassof explained that it's more of a discussion between 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Microsoft and Sony, saying, "we would l🦩ove to be full cross-play - have Xbox pla🐻yers matchmaking against PlayStation players. We are ready to support that." 

The news that Rainbow Six Siege is set to come to PS5 and Xbox Series X comes just after the reveal of the first two operators coming to Year 5 Season 1's Void Edge, the🍰 next big update coming to the tactical shooter. Th༺e update is set to introduce operators Iana and Oryx, along with a rework of the map of Oregon, and new gameplay updates.
