Ready or Not, VOID Interactive’s tactical ‘SWAT’ style first person shooter released back in June and did very well for itself, selling over three million copies on consoles. If you’re not one of those three million players, the team have announced a free trial, so you can check the game out for yourself.
2025 has served shooter fans very well indeed with Battlefield 6, ARC Raiders and Call of Duty Black Ops 7, so there’s plenty of competition out there. The free trial period for Ready or Not starts today, and runs through for 3 hours of total playtime or 90 days, ending on 20th February, 2026.
There’s also a sale on, with the game seeing a 20% discount on Xbox Series X|S and PS5, and a whopping 40% off on PC – per the developers, “This sale will run concurrently with the trial period, providing players a limited-time opportunity to fully enlist after sampling the game’s challenging missions and visceral SWAT action.“
