Is Rainbow Six Extraction crossplay? Multiplayer across platforms explained
Rainbow Six Extraction is nearly here, but what are the details on crossplay?
Ubisoft has launched the hugely-anticipated Rainbow Six Extraction, the latest in the Tom Clancy series, and so it's time to put your squad together. And thanks to Rainbow Six Extraction crossplay, your options for comrades are wide open.
As for what you can play it on, the game is available on PC via Microsoft Windows, as well as both the PS4 and the PS5. Amazon Luna and Google Stadia will be getting it too, while Xbox users can play it on either the Xbox One range or the Xbox Series X/S. And in even better news for Xbox gamers, it will also be a day one launch on Game Pass!
But how does crossplay work with this multiplayer heavy game? You'll be pleased to hear that it is very simple, and here are all the details you need to know.
Does Rainbow Six Extraction have crossplay?
Not only does Rainbow Six Extraction have crossplay, but it is about as simple as it could be. No matter what platform you play the game on, be it PC or any console, crossplay will be up and running automatically and you can play with whoever you like.
This works with consoles between generations too, so PS4 and Xbox One players will be able to go up against those who own a PS5 or an Xbox Series X/S - we wish crossplay were implemented like this on all games if we're honest.

So now all you need to do is set up your squad! As we've just stressed, you can play with whoever you like - with the exception of the Nintendo Switch players, since that console does not have a release lined up, although that could change down the line.
If you don't have any mates that want to play with you, regardless of platforms, using the 'Quick Play' button in the game's 'Play' menu will enter you automatically into Rainbow Six Extraction match-making - this will help you find some comrades in the same situation, so you won't have to play alone unless you want to!
