Rainbow Six Siege’s Latest Update Resets Console Crossplay Setting and More
[summaraize]
Two weeks ago, Ubisoft released the Y9S4 patch, bringing full crossplay to Rainbow Six Siege. If you’re a console player and you primarily want to match up against other console players, Ubisoft has made a little reset to make things a wee bit easier.
Rainbow Six Siege update 2.91 on PS4/XB1, which appears as download version 1.000.096 on PS5/XSX, is a hotfix with a short list of changes made.
Rainbow Six Siege’s Update 2.91 Resets Console Default Setting for Crossplay
Here’s what’s in today’s patch per Ubisoft:
Crossplay – Console Default Setting
The default crossplay setting will be reset to “Consoles Preferred” for the majority of console players.
Grim – Kawan Hive Launcher
Grim will have the correct amount of ammo for the Kawan Hive Launcher (5).

A bug was recently fixed which caused messages to be removed (UI only, no impact) if too many were sent in a row. Thanks for letting us know about the tweaks that we need to make. Player collaboration is of high importance for us.
Just the other day, the Freeze for All Permafrost event kicked off for all players, bringing a new game mode, cosmetics, and more. Check out the event details below for those who haven’t logged in recently.
Rainbow Six Siege Freeze for All Permafrost Event Details
Schedule: Dec. 17 to January 6, 2025
New icy game mode: Eight players face off on a modded, winterized version of the Hereford Base map called The Arctic Workshop. It’s all the fast-paced, arcade action of a free-for-all deathmatch, but with an added twist to help you speed your way to victory. Fallen enemies drop Frozen Souls; collect them for bonus points to be the first player to earn 40 points, or to rack up the most points at the end of the eight minute timer. As a new addition from last year’s event, you’ll have infinite respawns, giving you the chance to get revenge on the Operator who downed you, and making sure you’ll be part of every action-packed second.
Players will be able to unlock free rewards throughout the event, and there is a also a free cosmetic Collection pack given away to players simply by just logging in during the event.
Will we get one more patch before the year is done? Chances are, this is the last one before January rolls in, but if we do get one, we’ll let our readers know.
