Rainbow Six Siege has seen significant development since its release in 2015, constantly enhancing features to meet player expectations. A major achievement was the implementation of Crossplay, which allows players on different platforms to play together.

Crossplay Compatibility in Rainbow Six Siege

Currently, Rainbow Six Siege supports crossplay between PC, Stadia, Luna, and PlayStation and Xbox consoles. Previously, crossplay between PC and console players (PlayStation and Xbox) was not supported, which prevented players from different platforms from encountering each other in matches.

How to Enable and Configure Crossplay

Players have the option to enable or disable crossplay according to their preferences:

Accessing Options: Launch Rainbow Six Siege and go to the "Settings" menu.

Crossplay Settings: Find the options corresponding to crossplay.

Enabling/Disabling Crossplay: Select the option to enable or disable crossplay based on your preferences.

Disabling crossplay ensures matchmaking only with players on the same platform, which can be useful for maintaining a balanced gaming experience.

Cross-Progression Feature

In addition to crossplay, Rainbow Six Siege supports the cross-progression feature, allowing game progress to be retained across different platforms. This includes shared access to game content such as operators, skins, and other unlocked items. To activate cross-progression, players must link their Ubisoft account to the respective platforms.

How to Link Ubisoft Accounts for Cross-Progression

To use the cross-progression feature, which allows your game progress to be retained across platforms, you need to link your Ubisoft account with the respective platform accounts:

1. Visit the Ubisoft account information page: Go to the account information page.
   
2. Go to the "Linked Accounts" section: Scroll to the "Linked Accounts" section.
   
3. Select the platform to link: Click "Link" under the logo of the platform you wish to connect.
   
4. Follow the instructions: Complete the linking process according to the prompts.

Note that account linking has a permanent impact on your games, so make sure you are linking the correct accounts.

How to Unlink Ubisoft Accounts

If you need to unlink a platform account from your Ubisoft account:

1. Go to account information: Visit the account information page.
   
2. Find linked accounts: Scroll to the "Linked Accounts" section.
   
3. Select the platform to unlink: Click "Unlink" under the platform you wish to disconnect.
   
4. Follow the instructions: Complete the unlinking process according to the prompts.

Please note that to reconnect another account in the future, you will need to contact Ubisoft support, as re-linking is restricted to previously connected accounts.

Details of Cross-Progression

When accounts are linked, certain progress and items are shared between platforms:

• Shared across all platforms: Clearance Levels and Battle Pass progress.
  
• Shared within platform groups: Current rank, rank history, Skill MMR, and various cosmetic items are available between PC, Stadia, and Luna, or between Xbox and PlayStation consoles.

Benefits of Crossplay and Cross-Progression

By utilizing crossplay and cross-progression features, Rainbow Six Siege players can enjoy a more integrated and flexible gaming experience, playing with friends across various platforms and maintaining consistent game progress.

The crossplay and cross-progression features in Rainbow Six Siege enhance the gaming experience by allowing friends to play together on different platforms and retain game progress.
