This summer, Xbox and PlayStation players have something exciting to look forward to: diving into the action-packed world of Ready or Not, complete with crossplay capabilities.
A fresh addition to the gaming scene, Ready or Not brings something different to the table with its innovative SWAT team management system. Players aren’t just focusing on tactical maneuvers; they’re also tasked with keeping their team’s mental well-being in check. Need to boost your squad’s morale? You can send them to therapy! And, if the pressure becomes too intense, team members might choose to bow out on their own. Plus, the game supports cooperative multiplayer, and there’s a lot of buzz around a forthcoming PvP mode, although the details on its launch remain under wraps.
Originally hitting the PC market in December 2023, Ready or Not quickly gained traction, boasting a respectable Metacritic score of 79. Its developers, VOID Interactive, have already enriched the PC experience with two DLCs and soon, they’ll be unveiling new Metacritic ratings as Ready or Not launches on both Xbox and PlayStation.
In anticipation of the game’s console debut, slated for summer 2025, a new trailer sparked excitement. In a nod to inclusivity, VOID confirmed in the trailer’s comments on YouTube that Ready or Not will feature full crossplay. This is fantastic news for players eager to join forces across platforms, blending the seasoned PC crowd with newcomers from Xbox and PlayStation.
But there’s more! Console players are poised at the edge of their seats, eagerly waiting for a confirmed PvP mode release date. Its arrival might coincide with the console rollout, but we’re still waiting for VOID to confirm if, indeed, it will debut simultaneously across platforms.
As we look ahead to Ready or Not’s broad summer release window, there’s a strong chance it might make a splash at a major gaming event. Geoff Keighley’s Summer Game Fest in June is a prime candidate for such a revelation. And if the stars align, we might even see a surprise launch on the same day as the announcement. Only time will tell if the game lands on our consoles in June, July, or potentially August. Keep an eye on the upcoming events because this tactical adventure is one you won’t want to miss!
