A Ready or Not SWAT operator in the official v1.5.3 update graphic.

Ready or Not v1.5.3 focuses on performance and stability, with general optimization and shorter loading times between levels alongside a long list of Mission Editor fixes. VOID Interactive also addressed PS5 connection failures with Epic Online Services, misaligned laser and flashlight attachments, and crashes across several missions in its v1.5.3 changelog on Steam.

The update adds access to the firing range from the Mission Editor’s Station. It also fixes problems with AI settings, menus, translations, and mission debriefs in the editor introduced with Ready or Not v1.5.2.

VOID Interactive’s update FAQ notes that PC mods may need updates when changes to game files break compatibility. A download can also appear larger than the final increase in storage if the platform overwrites existing files, while console owners may need to start an update manually. The developer links to its Ready or Not modding resources.
