Ready or Not is a 2023 tactical first-person shooter video game developed and published by Ireland-based VOID Interactive and released first for Microsoft Windows, and later for the Playstation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. Ready or Not follows the operations of a police SWAT team in the fictional American city of Los Sueños in the midst of a violent crime wave.
Ready or Not was released through Steam early access on December 17, 2021, before it was officially released on December 13, 2023.[2] The game was well-received for its atmosphere and gameplay and has been considered a spiritual successor to the similar SWAT series by Sierra Entertainment. A console port of the game for Playstation 5 and Xbox Series X/S released on July 15, 2025.[3]
Development began in June 2016 and a reveal trailer was released on YouTube on May 3, 2017.[8] An alpha version [9] of the game was made available on August 19, 2019[10] for owners of the Supporter Edition under a non-disclosure agreement. Supporters and select YouTubers were invited to a PvP test in April 2020 and were allowed to publish footage.[11][12] The game was released on Steam Early Access on December 17, 2021.[13]
At The Game Awards 2023, VOID Interactive announced that 1.0 would be released on December 13, 2023.[2] The full release included missions dealing with swatting and illegal crypto mining.[14] The 1.0 release also addresses overhauls to the effectiveness of less-lethal equipment, mental health in law enforcement, inter-agency cooperation, and officer personality traits.[15][9] Similar to SWAT 3, Ready Or Not 's 1.0 release will include sophisticated AI that performs actions such as restraining suspects and taking cover autonomously rather than relying on player input.[16] [17]
Two additional DLCs for the game were released later in 2024. The first, released in Spring, named Home Invasion, contains new maps, along with new weapons.[18] The second, released on December 10, 2024, named Dark Waters, contains additional maritime maps, along with new weapons and new mechanics.[19][20]
On June 27, 2025, after the announcement of Ready or Not for consoles, VOID Interactive announced visual changes to the game, toning down dismemberment and nudity due to stricter rules for publishing games on consoles, though the Windows version was also affected.[28][29] The changes were negatively received by the players, who called the actions censorship, though some noted that the removed content could still be modded in.[30] The backlash resulted in the Steam version of the game getting review bombed.[31][32] VOID later provided comparison images, clarifying that they "only made changes where absolutely required" and that "the game’s tone, atmosphere, and graphical impact remain intact";[33] the statement did not appease the fans.[34][35][36] Despite the community backlash, Ready or Not quickly became the most pre-ordered game on the PlayStation Store.[30][37]
Ready or Not currently has a score of 79 on Metacritic, indicating "generally favourable reviews".[41] It was the best selling game on Steam in the week after its release, and has been favorably described as a spiritual successor to the SWAT series and early Rainbow Six games.[42][43]
Ethan Gach, writing an early review for Kotaku, called Ready or Not a "tactical horror game", "an unsettling SWAT fantasy" and "edgy copaganda", he criticized the game's realism as "effective enough to disturb but too shallow not to descend into farce, or worse, Blue Lives Matter cosplay with fascist overtones and alt-right dog whistles". Gach highlighted supposed references to alt-right memes such as the use of "Jogger" as a racist euphemism (in reference to Ahmaud Arbery), citing a pillbox in the game with the words "Redpill" and "NOGGINJOGGERS" labelled. VOID responded to Gach's review, denying any connection to extremism, saying that the alleged dog whistles were coincidental, and stating they would remove the references in question.[44]
In its review of the Home Invasion DLC, PC Gamer praised the gameplay and weapon additions while criticizing alleged class bias surrounding the Dorms level, in which the player forcibly evicts homeless people taking shelter from a hurricane.[45]
