I was looking at getting Rainbow Six Siege for Stadia while it has a ridiculously low sale price and I have a credit. But who do Stadia players match up with in terms of the described "cross-platform multiplayer"? Console players or PC? Both/either depending on controls input? Is there any observable disadvantage players have experienced with the added latency of Stadia?
Thanks for any assistance!
Hi @The_Unrest_Cure,
Right now Stadia has crossplay with a PC and Luna players. In 2022 they will also add Xbox and PlayStation players to crossplay.
And there is no way to filter on players with controllers or keyboard/mouse. So you could be in a game with console controller players and PC/Stadia players with keyboard and mouse.
Played some matches and watched a few which didnt have any issues with latency or whatsoever. ![]()
@RXShorty is right on all counts. I play on my tv with controller with no noticeable latency issues, but even with aim assist I definitely feel like i'm at a disadvantage using a controller instead of mouse. Still loads of fun though.
It should be noted that as of today, while Crossplay with PC and Luna works, it is still not possible to invite non-Stadia players to your team. This works with other Ubisoft Crossplay titles such as Division 2 and Rainbow Six Extraction, however not with Siege. I hope they finally add this specifically since Extraction has it and this is basically the same game.
