Whether deluxe edition ps5 works depends less on the hardware and more on which version the publisher chose to maintain.

Short answer

The feature is there on the platforms with an active build, and absent on the ones left on an older version.

  • Assume mobile versions are a different game with the same name.
  • Confirm whether your friends are on the same build, not just the same game.
  • If a menu path does not exist for you, your build is older or newer than the one described.

Siege rewards knowing the building more than knowing the gun, which is why map knowledge outranks aim here. Handheld versions often trail the main build by a full season. Store pages list supported platforms accurately; trailers do not.

Streaming as a fallback

What follows assumes you are on a current install and have not modified it. Some features are disabled per-platform for reasons that have nothing to do with performance. Cloud streaming sidesteps the hardware question and introduces a latency one instead. There is usually a fast way and a reliable way, and it is worth knowing which one you are choosing.

A cut-down port is still a port, and the difference usually shows up in player counts rather than frame rates. Console certification adds weeks to every patch, which is why fixes land unevenly. If a step reads as obvious, do it anyway — the obvious ones are the ones people skip and then wonder about.

What you lose on the smaller platforms

Cross-progression carries your account; crossplay only puts you in the same lobby. The community wisdom on this is roughly half right, and the half that is wrong costs the most time. Where two approaches both work, the one with fewer moving parts is the one to keep.

  • Check the store page's supported-platforms box, not the trailer.
  • Verify controller support separately from platform support.
  • Give a method one honest attempt before deciding it does not work.
  • Check whether the version on sale is the current-gen one.

Which versions exist right now

The developers have changed their mind about this at least once, which explains the older advice. Half the pages on this topic were written for a build that no longer exists, which is why they stop matching what you see. If your result differs from what is described here, note what is different first rather than starting over. Screenshots age faster than text, which is why this describes rather than shows.

If you are coming to this after a long break, the terminology has probably moved on. Rainbow Six Siege is not shy about hiding useful information two menus deep, so some of this is simply knowing where to look. Treat anything stated without a version number as provisional.

How to check before you buy

Where something depends on your platform or region, that is called out rather than glossed over. Nothing here assumes a particular playstyle beyond wanting the thing to work. A single check up front replaces a lot of guessing later.

None of this needs a paid tool, a third-party launcher or an account on a site you have never heard of. There is no hidden trick here that the game is keeping from you. Most of the disagreement you will find online is two people describing different builds.

Crossplay versus cross-progression

Everything below is framed around the current state of Rainbow Six Siege rather than a launch-week impression. Do the cheap check before the expensive one — that ordering alone saves most of the frustration. Patch notes move numbers around constantly; the shape of the answer holds even when a specific value shifts.

Where people go wrong

  • Grinding a method that was patched months ago because a thread still ranks well.
  • Rushing the last step, which is usually the one with the actual requirement in it.
  • Trusting a video thumbnail that promises a result the video never actually shows.

Siege FAQ

Why do other guides describe this differently?

Most were written for an earlier version and never revisited. Compare the steps against what your build actually shows.

What if none of this works for me?

Then something in your setup differs from the assumption — version, region or platform. Check those three before anything else.

Does this work the same on console and PC?

The logic is identical. Menu paths and button prompts differ, and any real difference is flagged above.

Is this still accurate after the latest Rainbow Six Siege update?

The method is; individual numbers may not be. If a value on your screen differs, trust the screen and keep the sequence.

If you only take one thing from this: the answer near the top is the part that matters, the rest is context.
