Control Ultimate Edition Patch Adds VRR, 120Hz and Unlocked Frame Rate Support on Consoles

by

Remedy Entertainment has delivered on its promise, bringing the PC update for *Control Ultimate Edition* to Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5. This update includes three outfits originally offered as pre-order bonuses, and a new experience called Dr. Yoshimi Tokui’s Guided Imagery Experience, featuring voice work by renowned director Hideo Kojima.

The game now includes updated visuals and options to customize performance. Players on PS5, PS5 Pro, and Xbox Series X/S can take advantage of Variable Refresh Rate and 120Hz display support. Plus, the frame rate caps in Quality and Performance modes have been lifted on all consoles, except the Xbox Series S, where it only applies to Performance mode.

And there’s more! The PS5 Pro also supports HDR, plus features like improved screen space reflections and texture filtering, and a technology called PSSR. Remedy notes that PSSR might have a small impact on performance, but you can disable it if needed.

You can find the complete list of updates below. If you’d like to learn more about *Control Ultimate Edition*, you can read our review.
