In my recent review of Ready or Not on Xbox Series X|S, I didn’t mince words: this is the best tactical shooter on the platform, period. It is the uncompromising, gritty spiritual successor to the SWAT series that console players have been waiting for.
But once you’ve mastered the base game’s 20 missions and navigated the psychological toll of Commander Mode, where do you go next? The answer lies in the Mission Pass Alpha.
If you’re looking to extend your time with the LSPD, here is everything you need to know about this high-value expansion bundle.
What is the Mission Pass Alpha?
Priced at $19.99, the Mission Pass Alpha is essentially a season pass for Ready or Not. It bundles together three major expansions, two of which are available now, with a third recently joining the fray. For those who purchased the Digital Deluxe Edition, this pass is already included in your library—so be sure to check your “Manage Game” settings before hitting buy!
The Operations Included
The pass offers a diverse range of environments that push the tactical realism of Ready or Not to its limit:
- Home Invasion: This expansion takes place in the wake of a devastating Category 5 Hurricane. You’ll lead your team through three high-tension missions where the chaos of a natural disaster has provided cover for a surge in violent crime.
- Dark Waters: Taking the fight off the coast of Los Sueños, this pack features three missions involving international criminals and terrorists. The standout here is the infiltration of an abandoned island resort—a haunting environment that demands perfect squad cohesion.
- Boiling Point: As I highlighted in my review, Boiling Point is a masterpiece of level design. From the sprawling Los Sueños pier to the intense standoff at City Hall, these missions represent some of the most challenging content VOID Interactive has ever produced.
Is It Worth It?
If you’ve already cleared the base game, the Mission Pass Alpha is an easy recommendation. Individually, these DLCs typically retail for around $9.99 each. By picking up the Pass for $19.99, you’re effectively getting three expansions for the price of two.
The variety of the new maps—ranging from hurricane-ravaged suburbs to offshore rigs—fixes the one minor gripe some players have with the base game: environmental repetition. Each new mission feels distinct, requiring you to rethink your loadouts and breaching strategies.
Final Verdict
Ready or Not for Xbox is a game that rewards patience, precision, and tactical thinking. The Mission Pass Alpha provides more of exactly what makes this game great. Whether you’re a solo player managing the mental health of your AI squad or a co-op veteran looking for new doors to kick down with friends, this pass is the logical next step for any LSPD officer.
