Devs have changed the realistic shooter for PlayStation and Xbox. After criticism, they tell PC players how to undo changes in Ready or Not
Ready or Not devs explained the reasons for censoring the PC version of the game and assured that fans will be able to reverse this with mods.
At the end of June, Void Interactive studio infuriated its fans by announcing the censorship of the most controversial elements of the tactical shooter Ready or Not. Somewhat later, it also turned out what this censorship looked like.
The reason is the upcoming console version for PS5 and XSX/S. In order for the game to be released on these platforms, the creators had to make some changes to it. What annoyed the players was the fact that these changes would also be introduced in the PC version. Now the developers have decided to once again explain the reasons for this decision.
- The devs decided to make crossplay easier. The game will allow PC and Xbox Series X/S, and PlayStation 5 owners to play together. On their Discord, the creators explain that this is because maintaining two PC versions (one censored and one containing original elements) would not make sense and would greatly hinder the development of the game, forcing double tests, file complications, and certification costs.
- One of the players asked if it would still be possible for fans to create a mod that would restore the original, uncensored version of the game. The devs responded affirmatively. They're not going to block it, and it won't cause any technical issues, because crossplay isn't possible when playing with mods.
We will see if these solutions will appease the players. Their anger is indeed great, on Steam, due to review bombing, only 22% of the reviews from the last 30 days are positive, which the platform categorizes as a "mostly negative" reception of the game. For comparison: out of all the reviews published in this store since the release of Ready or Not, 81% praise this title.
The console versions of the game will launch on July 15th, which is next Tuesday. Currently, Ready or Not can be purchased with a 50 percent discount on Steam Summer Sale for $24.99. The offer expires tomorrow evening.
- Players of realistic shooter are turning to the last resort. They refound Ready or Not because „there is no other way to get devs attention”
- Fans call out Ready or Not over AI-generated content, upset by the lack of transparency on its Steam page
- „This isn't the game we paid for.” Ready or Not takes heat for censorship and downgraded graphics, yet still storms ahead
