Rainbow Six Siege Year 8 Season 1 "addresses mouse and keyboard on consoles" and voice chat toxicity

Ubisoft has peeled back the lid on Rainbow Six siege's Year 8 Season 1, Operation Commanding Force, which introduces new features, a new Operator, and "further anti-toxicity measures".

The new season also ushers in the game's all-new Mousetrap feature, which means players jumping onto console when using a mouse and keyboard will "activate a penalty that adds lag to their inputs".

"The goal of this penalty is to encourage fair gameplay by removing the unfair advantage that mouse and keyboard players have on consoles," Ubisoft explains.

Completing matches with a controller will gradually reduce the lag back to normal."
