Ready or Not has carved its name in the tactical shooter space as one of the most intense and realistic SWAT simulators ever made. Developed by VOID Interactive, the game drops players into situations where every room entered and every door breached could mean life or death. After captivating PC players with its gritty realism, the game is finally coming to Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 on July 15, 2025. As console gamers gear up for deployment, one question naturally emerges: how many missions does Ready or Not actually offer?
At its core, Ready or Not features 18 base game missions. Each one is set across varied urban environments, from claustrophobic apartments to wide open industrial zones. These missions are not just different in design but in the psychological toll they take. Players must assess threats, rescue civilians, and neutralize armed suspects with surgical precision. The game rewards planning over brute force, and each operation feels like navigating a live wire.
Some missions involve high pressure hostage situations in locations like gas stations and hotels. Others drop you into complex environments like data centers and medical facilities where civilians and suspects blur into one chaotic environment. From a gang infested nightclub to a coastal farm hiding illegal activity, every mission is meticulously designed to test both strategy and nerves.
Beyond the base game, VOID Interactive expanded the experience with two major DLCs, bringing the mission total up to 24. The Home Invasion DLC launched in July 2024, bringing scenarios inspired by disaster struck urban zones. Missions like Dorms and Narcos reflect tense domestic confrontations, while Lawmaker introduces a layered assault on a heavily guarded residence.
Then came the Dark Waters DLC in December 2024, steering players into maritime danger. These missions take place along the Los Suenos coast and offer a whole new set of tactical challenges. The oceanfront maps, including Mirage at Sea and Leviathan, shift the tempo with large open areas, new weather conditions, and stealth focused objectives that feel fresh even for seasoned players.
What makes all 24 missions in Ready or Not standout is their commitment to immersion. Every environment is grounded in realism, and players are encouraged to assess threats with restraint rather than empty their clips. Suspects don’t always comply, civilians panic, and tension simmers throughout each room cleared. The game does not reward reckless heroics but thoughtful team coordination and use of non lethal tools wherever possible.
Now, with Ready or Not making its way to consoles, a whole new group of players will get to experience the thrill of leading a SWAT team into danger. Whether it’s coordinating a breach in a dimly lit nightclub or navigating a hostage crisis in a crowded apartment complex, these 24 missions form the backbone of a game that doesn’t just want to entertain, it wants to make you feel the pressure of command.
For anyone looking to prepare for the console launch or return to the field on PC, now is the perfect time to explore what each mission offers. Tactical shooters are often about weapons and gadgets, but Ready or Not pushes players to think like professionals. In every mission, timing, communication, and judgment matter far more than firepower.
