Summary

  • Xbox and PlayStation gamers can expect to play Ready or Not this summer with crossplay support.
  • The game introduces a unique SWAT team management system focused on mental health.
  • PvP mode release date is still pending, possibly coinciding with the console launch.

Gamers who prefer Xbox and PlayStation consoles will soon have the chance to enjoy the widely-appreciated PC shooter game titled “Ready or Not“. Originally launched on PC in December 2023, this game has swiftly garnered popularity. The developer, VOID Interactive, has already introduced two DLCs for the game since its release. Currently holding a Metacritic score of 79 for the PC version, the game is preparing to receive ratings on that platform for its forthcoming Xbox and PlayStation adaptations.

In the gaming realm, Ready or Not distinguishes itself with its unique SWAT team management feature, where players are responsible for maintaining the psychological wellbeing of their non-player character (NPC) teammates. This is achieved by ensuring they stay mentally fit, and if necessary, sending them for therapy to boost their resilience. Interestingly, the mental health of team members can degrade over time, leading them to depart from the team if the situation becomes too overwhelming. Collaborative gameplay (co-op) is currently available in Ready or Not, and VOID has hinted at a future addition of competitive Player vs Player (PvP) mode.

Gaming enthusiasts using Xbox and PlayStation can anticipate playing “Ready or Not” in the upcoming summer of 2025. VOID has revealed the console port launch period through a fresh trailer. In a YouTube comment, VOID also confirmed that “Ready or Not” will offer complete crossplay functionality, enabling PC gamers to join forces with their counterparts from Xbox and PlayStation in multiplayer sessions.

Ready or Not Coming to Console This Summer

For enthusiasts of console gaming, who have been anxiously looking forward to the release of Ready or Not, it remains unclear when VOID will introduce the promised player-versus-player (PvP) mode into the game. It’s speculated that this PvP feature might coincide with the console launch, prompting VOID to hold back details on the competitive aspect of the game until closer to the anticipated release date. However, it’s important to note that while it’s likely that PvP will debut on both PC and consoles at the same time, this hasn’t been explicitly confirmed by VOID yet.

As a die-hard fan of “Ready or Not”, I’m eagerly anticipating its console release, which has been scheduled within the broader summer window. It seems highly probable that we’ll catch a glimpse of this game at some upcoming showcase or event, with its official Xbox and PlayStation launch date likely to be unveiled there. Among the potential events, Geoff Keighley’s Summer Game Fest in June appears to be the frontrunner for such an update.

If “Ready or Not” does make an appearance at SGF, there’s a tantalizing possibility that we might even witness a console port ‘shadow drop’ on the same day, given the game has been available on PC for quite some time now. However, if it doesn’t appear at SGF, fans should still keep their eyes peeled for a console release sometime in June, July, or possibly even August.
