Rainbow Six Siege<\/em><\/a> <\/em>will offer modes prioritizing performance or resolution, plus a host of visual upgrades, when its PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X versions launch on Dec. 1, Ubisoft announced Tuesday<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Siege <\/em>will get a performance mode, which targets a frame rate of 120 frames per second with dynamic 4K resolution, and a resolution mode, which will opt for 60 fps action at a locked 4K resolution. That will apply to both the PS5 and Xbox Series X. On the Xbox Series S, said Ubisoft<\/a>, the performance mode will target 120 frames per second at 1080p; resolution mode will shoot for 60 fps at 1728p.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe graphical power of the PlayStation 5 enables better lighting and depth of field improvements, especially on long distance,\u201d said Sony\u2019s Tim Turi in a PlayStation Blog post<\/a>. \u201cGet ready to literally see your favorite map in a new light, and uncover new levels of detail.\u201d<\/p>\n

The PlayStation 5 version of Siege <\/em>will have exclusive features through the DualSense controller. \u201cSqueezing the trigger emulates the resistance of an actual trigger,\u201d Turi said. This resistance will vary according to the weapon: light and quick for pistols, heavier for the LMG. \u201cPlayers will also be able to feel the difference between single fire and full-automatic for full immersion,\u201d Turi added.<\/p>\n

Players with a current copy of Rainbow Six Siege <\/em>on PlayStation 4 or Xbox One may upgrade to the PS5 or Xbox Series X version at no cost. Their progression and inventories will carry over, as well. Additionally, cross-play will be enabled between Siege <\/em>players on PS4 and PS5, and Xbox One and Xbox Series X.<\/p>\n

Ubisoft back in March confirmed cross-generation play<\/a> capability for Rainbow Six Siege<\/em>, and the PS4 and Xbox One versions are already backward-compatible on the newer consoles.<\/p>\n
