Overview

  • A June 28 update applies minor censorship across PC and console versions, covering nudity, toning down torture-themed art, disabling post-mortem dismemberment and removing child-related assets
  • VOID Interactive standardized the changes to meet Sony and Microsoft certification standards and avoid mismatched assets that could disrupt cross-platform play
  • The uniform edits are required to prevent version fragmentation and ensure a seamless multiplayer experience for the game’s July 15 release on Xbox Series X/S and PS5
  • Hardcore players have review-bombed Ready or Not on Steam in protest, pushing recent user reviews from Very Positive to Mixed and prompting calls for refunds
  • Void Interactive maintains that the core hyper-realistic experience remains intact and believes most players will not notice the small alterations
