Right after the release of Ready Player One, Ernest Cline said he was working on a sequel.[1][2] For a sequel to the film, Cline stated, "I think there's a good chance that, if this one does well, Warner Bros. will want to make a sequel. I don't know if Steven [Spielberg] would want to dive back in, because he would know what he is getting into. He's said that it's the third-hardest film he's made, out of dozens and dozens of movies".[3][4] Zak Penn, who wrote the film adaptation of the novel alongside Cline, spend time with Cline discussing the possibilities of a film adaptation for the sequel novel, expressing interest in returning to write such film.[5] Co-star Olivia Cooke, and presumably the rest of the cast, is "contracted to sequels".[6] In December 2020, during an interview with Inverse, Cline stated that a film adaptation of the sequel novel is in early stages given Hollywood's frozen state due to the impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.[7]

In March 2024, Spielberg confirmed that he would not be directing the film, but would only serve as a producer.[8]
