A new PlayStation leak has revealed that a major PS4 game will be released on the PS5 again. When the PS4 was released, it felt like every PS3 game and their brother was rasterized on the PS4 and re-released. And if that did not happen, the game would be rebuilt for the PS4. A big reason for this, however, is that the PS4 is not backwards compatible with the PS3. On PS5, this is not a problem, as it plays virtually every PS4 game. However, this will not stop every game from the re-exit route.
Right now, one of the most popular games on PS4, Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege, is playable on PS5, but only via backward compatibility. In other words, a proper PS5 version of the game does not exist, but it seems like it is about to change.
Over on Twitter, Gematsu reveals that retailer recently listed 365games Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege Deluxe Edition for the PS5, apparently leaking the announcement before Ubisoft could make it. At the moment there is no list for an Xbox Series X version, but it is safe to assume that a similar reissue will be available for the new console from Microsoft.
It’s also safe to assume that the PS5 (and Xbox Series X) version will provide a variety of visual and performance upgrades, but for now it remains to be seen how many resources Ubisoft will pour into ports. And of course, it’s worth remembering that for now, nothing is official here. The listing could be a bug, or the retailer looking for traffic. And it can also be a placeholder. However, you know what it could still be? A real leak. If this is true, expect an announcement soon.
At the time of publication, Ubisoft had not commented on this leak in any capacity, and it is unlikely that it will change, but if it does, we will certainly update the story with everything the French game maker says.
