Rainbow Six Siege PS5 to PC crossplay arrives in next update (2024)

Team up with friends on PS5 or PC with Rainbow Six Siege crossplay starting next month

• You can team up with friends on PS5 and PC, but even one PC player will default your team to the PC matchmaking pool
• Rainbow Six Siege: Operation Collision Point kicks off on December 3, 2024
• Operator Blackbeard's rework introduces a shield with more tactical options than you can shake a stick at

Rainbow Six Siege has a plethora of movement options to help you check your surroundings as efficiently as possible without being caught by a quick headshot. You can peek around corners, sneak and aim your gun while lying on your back, and use gadgets to asses the best route in all directions for every eventuality.

All of these movement options are far easier to pull off quickly on PC using sensitive and responsive keyboard and mouse controls. This gives PC players an advantage that could baffle or infuriate unsuspecting PS5 players who aren't aware of the disadvantages of console controllers.

I've been playing Rainbow Six Siege on and off for years, and despite the skill level of console players increasing all the time, I still think there's a huge gap between how a player using a DualSense controller can perform compared to someone using mouse and keyboard.

We believe that Rainbow Six Siege is one of the best FPS games on PS5. I think the game will be much harder to play in a team with PC players because you'll be battling teams of PC users as someone on PS5. Will you be trying out the game's PS5 to PC crossplay or steering well clear of PC players in your matches? Tell us how you feel in the comments.
