Ubisoft and Microsoft today confirmed that Australia will have local servers for the upcoming Rainbow Six: Siege.
Ubisoft will take advantage of Microsoft’s local Azure data centres to get ‘er done.
“Local servers have been a priority from day one,” said Ubisoft Australia Managing Director Edward Fong. “It is essential that Australian gamers get to experience the same online environment as players across the globe.”
“Ubisoft’s use of Microsoft Azure datacentres in Australia demonstrates Azure’s cross-platform capabilities and is great news for the gaming community who will enjoy the benefits of a locally hosted environment and support,” Microsoft Australia’s Cloud & Enterprise lead Toby Bowers added.
The servers will be online for the game’s closed beta, beginning 25 September. Those who’d like to try for a key can do so here.
Rainbox Six: Siege will be available from 1 December on Xbox One, PS4 and Windows PC.
