The developer of the tactical FPS Ready or Not, Void Interactive, has addressed community concerns regarding recent visual changes aimed at securing a console release. After backlash and accusations of "content censorship", Void Interactive clarified that essential elements—specifically gore and violence—remain unchanged in the game. They affirmed that the immersive realism of Ready or Not is intact and that any alterations made are limited to comply with platform regulations. The studio emphasized their commitment to creative freedom while navigating global content restrictions. The game is set for a console release on July 15, 2025.

What changes did Ready or Not make to its visual content?

Ready or Not made specific adjustments, including replacing depictions of convulsing characters with sleeping poses, altering nudity in certain scenes, and modifying character attire to comply with platform standards. However, core gameplay elements, including gore effects and key missions, will remain unchanged.

Ready or Not launched in early access in 2021 and has gained a reputation for its hyper-realistic approach to tactical team-based gameplay. Initially published by Team17, Void Interactive has since focused on delivering an authentic experience while addressing the complex legal and regulatory landscape in gaming.
