Yes, Rainbow Six Siege supports crossplay, but with certain limitations applied.

Key Details on R6 Cross-Play:

🎮 Is R6 Cross-Platform Between PC and Xbox, or PC and PS5?

  • ✅ Yes, Rainbow Six Siege became cross-platform between PC and Consoles in December, 2024. This feature was introduced with the Year 9 Season 4 update, known as Operation Collision Point.

    How PC–Xbox and PC-PS5 Crossplay Works

    • Mixed Squads: If a squad includes a PC player, the entire group is placed into the PC matchmaking pool.

    • Console Matchmaking: PC players cannot join console-exclusive matchmaking pools.

    • Crossplay Settings: Console players have the option to disable crossplay if they prefer not to be matched with PC players.

⚠️ Why Does it Say 'Cannot be Invited Due to Crossplay Settings'?

If you’re seeing the "cannot be invited due to crossplay settings" message in Rainbow Six Siege, it usually means one of the following:

🔷 1. Crossplay Is Disabled in One Player’s Settings

    • On consoles like PS5 or Xbox, players can toggle crossplay ON or OFF in the game or system settings.

    • If you or the person you’re trying to invite has crossplay turned off, you won’t be able to squad up across platforms.

🛠️ Fix:

    • Go to your Settings > Options > Gameplay > Crossplay and make sure it's enabled.

    • On PlayStation/Xbox, also check your system-level privacy settings for multiplayer and crossplay permissions.

🔷 2. You're on Different Platform Pools

    • PC players can only matchmake with console players if invited, but not vice versa, and only if crossplay is enabled on both ends.

    • PC players cannot join console-exclusive matchmaking lobbies.

🛠️ Fix: Ensure both players are:

    • On supported platforms for crossplay (e.g., PC + PS5, Xbox + PS5, etc.).

    • Grouped in a way that matches Siege’s matchmaking rules (if a PC is involved, it becomes a PC pool).

🔷 3. Ubisoft Account Issues

    • Your Ubisoft account must be linked correctly to your platform (e.g., PSN, Xbox Live, Steam). If it isn’t, it may block crossplay invites.

🛠️ Fix: Visit https://account.ubisoft.com/ and confirm that your accounts are properly linked.

🔷 4. Temporary Bug or Update Issue

    • Sometimes, after a patch, crossplay settings may reset or become unstable temporarily.

🛠️ Fix:

    1. Restart the game.

    2. Recheck settings.

    3. If the issue persists, check Rainbow Six Siege’s official social channels or Ubisoft’s support page for updates.

💾 Is R6 Cross-Progression?

  • ✅ Yes! Rainbow Six Siege supports cross-progression across all platforms, including PC and consoles. By linking your Ubisoft account to your platform accounts, you can maintain your progression, including cosmetics and in-game currency, regardless of the platform you play on.
