Does Rainbow Six Siege progress carry over from Uplay to Steam?

[Ishit Singh]

I recently bought Uplay version of R6 for free through amazon credits. I like to keep all the games I own in one launcher and it's annoying to add every friend I have in Steam manually to play so I'm thinking about buying R6 again through Steam.

 

Will my current progress and achievement carry over from Uplay to Steam? I talked with Ubi support and they said no it's not going to carry over any progress but reddit posts about the same issue says completely different, those post claim that it'll carry over the progress.

 

I'm so confused. Will it carry or not?

 

Edit- The version I have in Uplay is Standard edition and I might buy Deluxe edition in Steam

Afaik if you buy it on steam, (like i did) you'll still have to launch and play it through Uplay and your progress will be linked to your Uplay account. So yes, you'll keep everything but it's kind of wasted money to buy it again?!

But what about players that already have it on uplay and are switching to steam? Will it carry over the progress since it uses same launcher?

Yes. If you buy it on steam and launch it, steam will start Uplay and launch it there. It won't make a difference.

That's good to hear, I just don't understand why ubi support said it wouldn't carry over the progress.

U just could add r6 to your steam library as an external application and launch it this way

True but that doesn't fix all the issues. I like Steam stat tracker and after reading this reddit post-

I think it's just better to get this game through Steam.
