The tactical shooter Ready or Not just achieved gaming industry history. VOID Interactive‘s hyper-realistic FPS reached 1 million console copies sold within four days of launch, catapulting total sales beyond 10 million units after previously hitting 9 million PC sales.
Ready or Not Soars Past 1 Million Copies Sold On Console In Four Days
The console launch success represents a dramatic acceleration compared to PC performance. CEO Julio Rodriguez revealed striking statistics: “When we launched Ready or Not on PC, it took about 36 days to reach 1 million units sold. On console, it took about 3.6 days.”
This 10x speed increase demonstrates the power of console markets for established PC titles.
Sales Performance Comparison
| Platform | Time to 1M Sales | Current Total |
|---|---|---|
| PC Launch | 36 days | 9+ million |
| Console Launch | 3.6 days | 1+ million |
| Combined Total | — | 10+ million |
Rodriguez expressed pride in the team’s achievement: “I’m incredibly proud of the team and what we’ve accomplished together. It’s a huge moment—and one we don’t take for granted.”
Console Launch Controversy
Success came with challenges. The console release included content changes affecting gore, nudity, and violence across both console and PC versions. VOID Interactive justified modifications “to support stability and align with policies enforced by global platforms and age rating bodies.”
Changes included victim clothing adjustments and reduced graphic content, sparking player backlash on Steam reviews. Despite review-bombing campaigns, sales momentum remained unaffected.
The community responded quickly—a revert mod appeared just 20 minutes after the update, demonstrating player dedication to the original vision.
