I play & steam are cross networked right?

[ExoMale]

Might sound a stupid question, but despite having both I have never idea if they have their own dedicated servers or just servers anyone can join?

I only ask this question because I was on CdKeys website browsing and was about to buy a game then I notice rainbow 6 siege normal game is £12.90 which is very tempting seeing how much the disk version is, I do need to get a graphics card to play anything beyond Intel capability lol, but I'm curious about how many players are still on this and whether it's better to get through Uplay or steam(which I have but barely use).


I own an offline version I was testing, but boring as its only training ha.

Depends on the game, some have dedicated hosting, some by players themselves, others by steam - normally if it's a Valve game. Changes depending on the title.

As far as I know playing a unique soft game through steam launches u play

If you look at the information on the steam version, it states that a uplay account is required so you might be better off just having it on the uplay platform.

Steam version will launch through Uplay anyway, so makes no different besides an extra DRM.
