VOID Interactive Clarification on Content Changes

We recently shared that Ready or Not’s PC version underwent minor content changes to support stability and align with policies enforced by global platforms and age rating bodies. These adjustments were made to ensure a smooth global launch across platforms — while fully preserving the game’s tone, themes, and intensity. 

Unfortunately, we’ve seen misconceptions and misinformation circulating around the scope of these changes. We want to ensure our entire community has full visibility into what has — and has not — changed. 

We’re including before-and-after visuals to show that the game’s tone, atmosphere, and graphical impact remain intact. The effects of gore and violence — key to the game’s immersive realism — have not been toned down.  

Missions such as Elephant, Neon Tomb, and the infamous Valley of the Dolls remain unchanged. 

VOID Interactive has always believed in creative freedom and the right to build experiences that push boundaries in the service of immersion and realism. That will not change. 

At the same time, we operate in a global ecosystem of platform standards, age rating boards, and local legal restrictions. While we may disagree with how some content is treated, we’ve only made changes where absolutely required, and only to the letter of the regulations — no further. 

As a hyper-realistic tactical FPS, Ready or Not faces different scrutiny than more stylized or fictional games. That’s a reality of the world we publish in — not a change in our creative vision or values. 
 
Only 6 targeted visual changes to the PC version were made:  

• Twisted Nerve: The girl is now depicted as sleeping instead of convulsing.  

• A Lethal Obsession: Nudity involving the ghillie suit suspect has been adjusted 

• Hide and Seek: Female hostages now wear underwear 

• Narcos: Police informant hostage now wears underwear 

• 23 Megabytes a Second: ‘Photo of Minors’ objective model was revised, also to better connect narratively with the later ‘Sinuous Trail’ mission.

• Post-mortem dismemberment has been disabled (note: dismemberment for living characters remains unchanged, and can be seen in the latest Vol. 87 dev briefing: https://https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1144200/view/526472884483260567
