Summary
A rumor has fans of VOID Interactive’sReady or Nothoping that the tactical first-person shooter may be coming to consoles. Set in a modern-day USA,Ready or Notgives gamers the chance to test their skills as a SWAT police officer dealing with an uptick in crime in the fictional city of Los Sueños. Co-op or solo, players of theindie gamewill defuse potentially volatile hostage situations, handle active bomb threats, and bust their way through to barricaded hostiles.
Currently sitting at a “Very Positive” review rating on Steam,Ready or Notfound itself the subject of some controversyshortly after its early access launch in December 2021. After VOID Interactive confirmed that the game would include a mission involving a school shooter, Team 17 opted to end its agreement to publishReady or Not.The developer seemed to take the change of plans in stride and ultimately handled publishing itself when the game officially launched two years later.
Given thegenerally positive reception ofReady or Not, it would be ideal if console players also had the chance to check out the game, and that may in fact be in the works. In a now-deleted video, aReddit user shared a teaser trailerdiscovered inReady or Not’s game files, which contained a folder labeled “Console Teaser” that had been created in early 2024. The leaked footage was copyright claimed, but it seems to corroborate an earlier leak from April 2024. At that time, VOID Interactive experienced a data breach, which resulted in source code for a PS4 version ofReady or Notmaking the rounds online.
Ready or Not May or May Not Be Ready for Consoles
Many of the game’s fans are understandably excited at the prospect ofReady or Notmaking its debut on consoles. Some have expressed doubt, though, given the shooter’s tactical focus and somewhat intricate commands that may be hard to map on a controller. Others are hopeful that, if the game does indeed make the jump to console, the PC version will also end up with controller support. However, a few players have pointed out that, despite its engaging gameplay on PC, the game still needs quite a bit of polishing, with one Redditor mentioning the issues withteammate AI when playingReady or Notsolo.
As an indie game,Ready or Notdoes have its share of problems, and VOID Interactive still regularly releases updates and bug fixes. The latest, which came out in August, fixed a number of known issues and also optimized performance in a few areas. But gamers hoping for a console port should of course take any rumors with a grain of salt.
