Rainbow — PS5 & PS5 Pro performance
Technical analysis last updated
On PS4, Rainbow Six Siege renders at native 1080p resolution. Standard multiplayer mode targets 60fps, providing responsive gameplay despite frame rate drops into the 50s and mid-40s during heavy firefights and explosions. Terrorist Hunt mode is capped at 30fps to accommodate advanced enemy AI processing, resulting in noticeably higher input latency and less fluid movement compared to standard multiplayer.
Graphics modes on PlayStation 5
Rainbow Six Siege on PS5 delivers two graphics options tailored for fast-paced action. Players can opt for 4K visuals at 60 FPS in Resolution mode or prioritize frame rates up to 120 FPS in Enhanced Performance mode. Load times and haptic feedback are also enhanced over the previous generation.
