Ready or Not, the intense tactical first-person shooter developed by Void Interactive, has taken the gaming world by storm since its console debut in mid-July. The game has achieved remarkable success, selling over 2 million copies across PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S platforms. This milestone comes as welcome news to fans, especially considering the challenges the game faced during its transition from PC exclusivity to multi-platform availability.

Originally launched in early access in December 2021, Ready or Not reached its full release two years later to widespread acclaim. It quickly became Steam's best-selling title during its launch week and continues to maintain strong player engagement, with daily peaks ranging between 32,000 and 42,000 concurrent players in recent weeks. The game's console version was officially announced in April 2024 and released on July 15, marking a significant expansion for the tactical shooter.

Void Interactive CEO Julio Rodriguez recently shared the impressive sales figures on LinkedIn, expressing gratitude to both players and the development team. He described Ready or Not as "the quintessential tactical FPS of our era." These achievements are particularly noteworthy given the game's rapid console adoption - reaching 1 million sales in just four days, compared to the significantly longer timeframe it took on PC.

However, the road to console success hasn't been without obstacles. The game faced significant backlash from its dedicated PC community over content modifications made for the console versions. These changes, which included toning down graphic depictions of violence and sensitive themes, were implemented following concerns raised by platform partners. While Void Interactive assured players the alterations would be minimal, many longtime fans felt the changes impacted the game's gritty authenticity.

The controversy manifested in review bombing campaigns, particularly on Steam. While the game maintains a "Mostly Positive" overall rating with 77% approval, recent reviews tell a different story - only 27% of the past month's reviews have been positive. Despite this vocal criticism, the game's critical reception remains strong, with an 83/100 average score on OpenCritic and 84% of critics recommending the title.
