Despite coming out in 2015, Rainbow Six Siege has somehow only gotten better and more popular with age. It takes the best elements from a tactical shooter like Counter-Strike 2 and specialized characters team compositions from hero shooters, but sets them in a destructive environment to make each round tactically unique. It is a hardcore game, but even more casual players can have a ton of fun breaching walls and peeking through a hole in the wall to land a headshot.

Aside from the new maps, modes, and characters added, Rainbow Six Siege has also moved from last-generation consoles to current ones. It has also remained popular on PC. Do all these platforms play nice together in this old game, or does Rainbow Six Siege have cross-platform support?

Is Rainbow Six Siege cross-platform?

Rainbow Six Siege is only partially cross-platform. Console players on either PlayStation 4, PS5, Xbox One, or Xbox Series X/S can all play in matches together, but not with the PC crowd. PC players can only play against other PC players, or those playing via Amazon Luna. This is partially to keep matches fair since keyboard and mouse players would have a large advantage over console players who are only able to use controllers.

Cross-progression is much more open, but does have a few limitations as well. Your current rank, rank history, and skill matchmaking ranking (MMR) are only transferable between consoles or PCs, not from any console to PC. Everything else, such as your battle pass progress, unlocks, and all other progression is able to move between PC and consoles without issue.

Is Temtem cross-platform?

There are dozens, if not hundreds, of Pokémon clones out there, but none of them quite captured the same magic as the original. Temtem comes as close as we've seen, with a fantastic roster of creatures to capture, battle, and evolve. While the core concept shares a lot with its inspiration, it does break the mold in a few ways, such as having all battles be 2v2, the inclusion of house options, and a focus on online play. While not quite an MMO like Final Fantasy 14, playing with others is a core component of Temtem in the same way it is for Genshin Impact, which means it would benefit everyone if it was a cross-platform game. Pokémon is one of the best Switch games, but because it is exclusive to that console, you never have the option to battle trainers on other platforms. Does Temtem let you battle it out with trainers no matter where they are? Let's find out.

Is Civilization 7 cross-platform?

In today's day and age, launching an upcoming video game as hotly anticipated as Sid Meier's Civilization 7 and not having it be a cross-platform game can be a death sentence. Some of the best PC games like Valorant choose to have limited cross-platform support, while others like Final Fantasy 14 break down all barriers. We already know that this will be the first time the series has launched on consoles at the same time as PC, but has Civilization 7 kept up with the times and included cross-platform support? Let's find out.
Is Civilization 7 cross-platform?

Civilization 7 does have cross-platform support, but with a few catches. The game has fully crossplay between PlayStation, Xbox, PC, and Switch with the use of a 2K account. However, the number of players you can play with in certain modes depends on your platform. On anything but the Switch, up to five players can connect in the Antiquity & Exploration Ages mode and up to eight in the Modern Age mode. Switch players, meanwhile, are limited to four players in the Antiquity & Exploration mode and only six in Modern Age. Switch players are also not expected to be able to play on map sizes of Standard or larger, meaning anyone who wants to crossplay with a Switch player will also be subject to these limitations.
