But that’s not to say that focus has been purely on resolution and framerate the game loads quicker thanks to next-gen SSD storage. Similarly, the update will not make use of the dedicated audio hardware in the PS5 and Xbox Series X. “There’s a balance to strike, and we thought for now using ray tracing would not benefit that competitiveness, which is why we focused on 120FPS.” “The idea was to get as close as possible to the competitiveness of PC hardware, which is why we focused on getting up to 120FPS,” Elbawab explained. That means no high-resolution texture pack, and definitely no ray tracing. “The focus was really on the performance side.” “There is a certain increase to some of the textures but I wouldn’t qualify it as highly noticeable,” said Elbawab. While the higher resolution and frame rate will make Siege look crisper and smoother, the game won’t technically look ‘better’. If your TV is not capable of high refresh rates, then the console defaults to 4K 60FPS. If you favour frame rate we guarantee you playing at 120FPS at the highest resolution possible, versus if you favour resolution then the game renders at 4K with the highest frame rate possible.”Įlbawab noted that these options will be added to the menus if the game recognises that you have a 4K TV capable of 120Hz. Talking to IGN, Mazen Elbawab, Software Project Lead on Rainbow Six Siege, said: “You can either favour the resolution of the game or the frame rate. The update will, akin to many games, provide two modes for this. Rainbow Six Siege’s next-generation update will arrive on December 1, and brings with it a variety of improvements and quality of life features that should help Siege feel at home on PS5 and Xbox Series X.Ĭhief among the upgrades, Siege on next-gen will support resolutions of up to 4K and frame rates of up to 120FPS.
