„This isn't the game we paid for.” Ready or Not takes heat for censorship and downgraded graphics, yet still storms ahead

It might seem like Void Interactive, the creators of the online shooter game Ready or Not, are in a tough spot. They have recently been hit by a wave of criticism, and players are not hiding their disappointment with the latest changes.

One of the main complaints from the community is the introduction of censorship in the game as part of a recent update. However, that's not the end, since the launch of the title on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, players of the PC version have started to notice a significant drop in graphics quality.

Many threads have been created on Reddit comparing the current version of the game to the one before the console release. Players are posting lots of screenshots showing a noticeable downgrade in graphics and expressing their disappointment in the comments. Some even went as far as demanding a refund, emphasizing that "this is not the game they bought."

What's most interesting, despite these controversies, Ready or Not is reaching new milestones. Void Interactive studio boasted that its tactical shooter has already sold over 10 million copies since its release in early access in 2023. The console version of the game has made a significant contribution to this result, reaching 2 million people already. What's important, selling a million copies on PS5 and XSX/S took only 3.6 days. Just to compare, it took about 36 days to achieve the same milestone in the PC version.

New patch allows killing friends without consequences

However, the devs claim that they don't remain indifferent to the voices of the community. The game received a small update yesterday, which, according to the developers, focuses on "priority issues" and prepares the title for a larger patch, planned for next week.

Among the most interesting changes are fixes related to the lobby meant only for friends. Up until now, players were automatically banned for frequently killing their teammates - even during private sessions. Now this has changed: in the closed lobby, you will be able to freely eliminate your pals, without consequences from the system.

Besides, the latest patch fixes, among others:

1. issue with completed mission results not displaying in the mission selection screen (with older saves);
2. a malfunction in the fault reporting system, which prevented the sending of reports;
3. several critical failures related to authentication and sound.
