Ready or Not is a tactical shooter that draws inspiration from classic games like SWAT and the Rainbow Six series. It offers a more strategic alternative to fast-paced shooters by placing players in tense, realistic scenarios as members of a SWAT team. Success in the game relies heavily on teamwork and making the right decisions during missions.

It began its journey as an Early Access title on Steam, where it was available for two years before its full PC launch in December 2023. Ready or Not is set to be released on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S on July 15, 2025. However, releases are scheduled for different times depending on the region. For those wondering when they can get their hands on this title, here are the exact release times and dates for the console versions of Ready or Not.

For Steam Deck users who don't mind slightly smaller text, Ready or Not is marked as "playable" on the Steam Store. The developers at Void Interactive have enhanced controller support as they transitioned towards consoles, which allows the game to run smoothly on the Steam Deck as well. Moreover, it runs surprisingly well out of the box on medium settings, with only minor adjustments being required to maintain optimal performance.
