Remedy Entertainment, the Finnish game studio, released a new update for their 2019 title, Control, on Monday. The update adds features for players on Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5, following a similar release for PC users earlier this year.
This update at long last adds full HDR support, which delivers significantly improved colors that make the most of today’s displays.
With 120Hz support, Control can achieve much smoother gameplay (depending on the on-screen action), becoming one of the games on Xbox Series X|S that can technically reach 120 frames per second.
We’ve added three outfits and a bonus side mission for all players! These outfits were originally available only as pre-order rewards, and the side mission – featuring Hideo Kojima from Kojima Productions – was previously exclusive to the deluxe edition of Control on PlayStation 4.
Below, you can find the full patch notes from Remedy Entertainment:
Outfits
- The following outfits are now available to all players. The outfits can be accessed and equipped from the Control Point in the Central Executive Sector area.
- Astral Dive Suit (formerly a pre-order exclusive)
- Tactical Response Gear (formerly a pre-order exclusive)
- Urban Response Gear (formerly a pre-order exclusive)
Missions
- All players will receive the mission Dr. Yoshimi Tokui’s Guided Imagery Experience, featuring voiceover by Hideo Kojima.
- The mission is playable when you pick up the Dr Tokui Tapes collectible in the Extrasensory Lab of the Research Sector. (This mission was previously exclusive to the PlayStation 4 Digital Deluxe version of Control.)
Graphics (Xbox Series X|S)
- Added a new setting “Unlock Frame Rate”, enjoy!
- Added VRR and 120Hz display output support for Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S, and unlocked the frame rate limitations for Quality and Performance Mode settings
- [Xbox Series X] Unlocked the frame rate limitations for Quality and Performance Mode
- [Xbox Series S] Unlocked the frame rate limitations for Performance Mode settings
- Improved Temporal Anti Aliasing (TAA) quality
- Added HDR support
Graphics (PlayStation 5)
- Added a new setting “Unlock Frame Rate”, enjoy!
- Added VRR and 120Hz display output support for PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 Pro, and unlocked the frame rate limitations for Quality and Performance Mode setting
- Improved Temporal Anti-Aliasing (TAA) quality
- Added HDR support
- [PlayStation 5 Pro] Added PSSR (PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution) support. Using PSSR results in smoother edges, improved hair, and vegetation visual quality. Using PSSR can slightly impact performance, so if you would rather have the original “look” of Control, you can disable PSSR in the settings.
- [PlayStation 5 Pro] Improved Screen Space Reflections in Performance Mode
- [PlayStation 5 Pro] Updated Texture and Shadow resolution filtering (anisotropic)
General (Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5)
- Fixed grenade projectiles indicators only updating at 30 fps. Now they update properly everywhere they should.
- Improved the sorting of character and weapon mods
Control is worth revisiting as work on the sequel continues
It’s great that Remedy Entertainment is still supporting their game with updates even after its initial release. While it would have been ideal to have these features, like HDR, sooner, it’s still good to see them being added now.
I’m thinking about replaying Control, especially since it will be a while before we hear more about the sequel. The developers have said Control 2 will be a full action role-playing game, which is a different direction than what Remedy usually makes, and sounds exciting.
If you’re interested in exploring more of that universe, you might also enjoy FBC: Firebreak, Remedy’s cooperative shooter released in June. The game is constantly being updated with new content, and even more is planned for the future.
Control: Ultimate Edition can be played on Xbox Series X|S, Windows PCs (through Steam and the Epic Games Store), and PlayStation 5. It’s also included with Xbox Game Pass for players at the Essential, Premium, and Ultimate subscription levels.
