Rainbow Six Siege
One of the darkest horses in video game history, Rainbow Six Siege has grown an audience that has made it one of the most popular games to date.
Although it was met with mixed reactions initially, Ubisoft made quick updates, listened to their fans, and added new content that kept players coming back, and in the process, attracted even more people to their game.
Rainbow Six Siege is a tactical-based team shooter played across Xbox One, PS4, and PC, making it an ultimate candidate for cross-play.
In a game where communication and teamwork is a key component to victory, Siege would fully benefit from cross-play by giving players more options on who to team with, regardless of where they choose to play.
Earlier this year, gaming and entertainment site Stevior interviewed Executive Producer Xavier Marquis about the potential for cross-play within Siege and if they were planning on implementing it in the future.
“Today we are not really working on it. We are thinking about it, but nothing is planned,” Marquis told Stevior.
Ubisoft is open to the idea of allowing players to connect across platforms, but with no concrete plans, Rainbow Six Siege players are left playing the waiting game until an announcement comes.
Although there may be hesitation from some players when it comes to pairing console players versus PC players, games such as Fortnite have found unique ways to combat the issue by making the option of cross-play an opt-in feature.
If Ubisoft is able to enable cross-functionality and implement an opt-in option for pairing with PC players, Rainbow Six Siege will continue to grow as one of the most highly praised games of this generation.
