Ready or Not's review bomb campaign may have been short-lived, as player count subsequently doubles on Steam and it tops PlayStation's pre-order list

Ready or Not, the gritty, realistic SWAT experience, is currently sat at Mostly Negative on Steam, as players gathered to protest changes made to adhere to stricter console standards over the last couple of weeks.

Ready or Not's player count on Steam has seen a steady incline since June 26, rising from just under 6,000 concurrent players to a height of 17,269 a few days ago.
