Fans of high-stakes strategy shooters have something big to look forward to this summer. VOID Interactive’s critically acclaimed title Ready or Not is officially making its console debut on July 15, 2025. This intense, grounded SWAT simulator has built a loyal PC fanbase since its early access launch. Now, console players on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S can finally suit up and experience the adrenaline-fueled world of tactical law enforcement.
A Gritty Look Into the World of Modern Policing
Set in the dark, fictional city of Los Sueños, Ready or Not drops you into the boots of an elite SWAT officer. Missions range from hostage rescues to bomb threats and unpredictable standoffs. The game doesn’t just reward fast reflexes; it demands critical thinking, clear communication, and precise execution. Every call, every breach, and every shot fired can change the outcome of a mission.
Core Features That Set It Apart
- True-to-life Tactical Gameplay: Real-world tactics are the backbone of the game. You’ll need to plan carefully, use specialized gear, and execute coordinated strikes.
- Dynamic AI: Suspects can surrender, fight back, or take hostages. Officers under your command respond to threats and stress in unpredictable ways.
- Mental Health System: Unique to Ready or Not, team members’ mental states evolve over time. Push them too hard, and they may break.
- Full Cross-Play: Squad up with friends across PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC for seamless co-op action.
- PvP Mode Incoming: While the core experience is co-op focused, a competitive multiplayer mode is currently in development.
Editions Built for Every Type of Operator
Console users can choose from three editions:
- Standard Edition: Includes the base game.
- Day One Edition: Same price, with bonus gear including the M32A1 Grenade Launcher, MK-V Pistol, and 590M Shotgun.
- Deluxe Edition: Features everything from the previous editions, plus the Home Invasion, Dark Waters, and a third unannounced DLC pack. All DLCs will also be sold separately.
Previous DLC Packs: A Taste of What’s Inside
PC players have already explored major expansions that will now be available on console:
- Home Invasion: Introduces domestic scenarios, new weapons, and intense close-quarters engagements.
- Dark Waters: Brings maritime rescue missions, stormy settings, and unique mechanics to the fold.
Both packs are bundled with the Deluxe Edition and add serious depth to the already rich gameplay.
