A Cork video game studio is celebrating 2m console sales of its first-person shooter game Ready or Not, but says more supports are needed for the industry to thrive in Ireland.

Ready or Not was released internationally by Cork studio Void Interactive for PlayStation 5 and Xbox on July 15, having been released initially in 2023 on Windows for PC.
