A new PlayStation leak has revealed that a major PS4 game is being re-released on the PS5. When the PS4 came out it felt like every PS3 game and their brother was being remastered and re-released on the PS4. And should this not happen, the game has been remade for PS4. A major reason for this, however, is that the PS4 was not backward compatible with the PS3. On PS5 this is not a problem as it plays almost every PS4 game. However, this will not stop every game from the rerelease route.
Currently, one of the most popular PS4 games, Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege, is playable on PS5, but only through backward compatibility. In other words, there is no such thing as a good PS5 version of the game, but it looks like that’s about to change.
About on Twitter, Gematsu reveals that retailer recently listed 365games Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege Deluxe Edition for the PS5, seemingly leaked the announcement before Ubisoft could make it. At this point, there’s no listing for an Xbox Series X version, but it’s safe to assume a similar re-release is in the works for Microsoft’s new console.
It’s also safe to assume that the PS5 (and Xbox Series X) version will come with a variety of visual and performance upgrades, but for now it remains to be seen how many resources Ubisoft will put into the ports. And, of course, it’s worth remembering that nothing is official here for now. The listing could be an error or it could be the retailer looking for traffic. And it can also be a placeholder. However, do you know what else it could be? A real leak. If this is true, expect an announcement soon.
At the time of publishing, Ubisoft has not commented on this leak in any capacity, and this is unlikely to change, but if it does, we will definitely update the story with whatever the French games maker says.
