An exciting question regarding the backward compatibility of the PS5 and Xbox Series X is certainly whether this relates to purely digital versions. Clearly no, how Ubisoft can guarantee today.
Rainbow Six Siege is the first game to be confirmed that also works as a disc version on the PS5. It has long been known that one is generally planning a next-gen launch.
Rainbow Six Siege Creative Director, Leroy Athanassoff, comments that matchmaking etc. will also work in the next generation and under the consoles of the same manufacturer.
“For example, PS5 players can play with PS4 players, and Xbox Series X players can play with Xbox One players. The game is backward compatible, which means you can put your Rainbow Six Siege disc on PS4 in your PS5 or put your Xbox One disc in your Xbox Series X. "
How far the tactical shooter on the PS5 and Xbox Series X will be optimized is currently unclear. For example, Microsoft has announced that the Xbox Series X can add HDR to any non-HDR game – but my TV can do that too.
The focus at the moment is only that you don't want to split the player community by the generation change. Everything else has not yet been finally decided.
