In late June, developer Void Interactive revealed modifications to the tactical shooter Ready or Not for its console launch, inciting frustration among fans. The update, designed to adapt the game for PlayStation and Xbox, reduced explicit violence and nudity. This decision was met with considerable backlash from the community, who perceived it as censorship.
On July 15, 2025, the Los Sueños Stories update went live, bringing new weapons, missions, and a difficulty framework, along with the contentious content alterations. In reaction, a mod created by user eman734 on Nexusmods quickly appeared, undoing these changes and reinstating the game’s original representations. Although it has been downloaded over 12,000 times, this number is minor compared to the game’s 10 million sales on Steam.
The modder, in communication with Void Interactive, indicates there are no intentions to ban the mod. Meanwhile, the game faced a surge of negative reviews on Steam, with nearly 18,000 users criticizing the update for undermining immersion and atmosphere. Recent reviews indicate only 23 percent positivity, although the overall rating remains at 79 percent. The mod provides PC players a means to reclaim the experience they seek, underscoring the ongoing tension between creative intent and platform mandates.
