“Ready or Not has recently announced 2 million copies sold on console platforms, and we’re blown away by the response so far. For those in the US looking to play on physical, we need a bit of extra time to get it to you, and it will be coming on September 26th. For audiences in the European Union, Ready or Not will be available on physical for August 8th.” —VOID.
Ready or Not is animmersive FPSthat sheds light on the life-saving and incredibly dangerous work of SWAT police units. According to the developers, “the game honours the work of dedicated Law Enforcement Officers across the world and in no way intends to glorify cowardly criminal acts.”
RoN quickly garnered respect for providing an intense,gritty experiencethat doesn’t hold back any of the graphic scenes that a law enforcement officer could potentially encounter, but Void has since faced some backlash after censoring some parts of the game.

While Ready or Not’s recent Steam reviews sit at a mostly negative status, many of the complaints are based simply on the principle of censorship rather than the weight of the actual changes. Given the games' graphic nature, navigating the waters of bringing a realistic SWAT experience into the mainstream has been a bit turbulent - but they made it.
