Finnish developer Remedy Entertainment launched an update on Monday for its 2019 sport, Control, bringing new options to the Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 variations after launching an identical patch on PC earlier within the 12 months.
This replace lastly introduces correct HDR (excessive dynamic vary) help, that means much better colours that truly reap the benefits of trendy shows.
120hz help additionally signifies that Control can run far quicker framerates (in concept, relying on what’s occurring on-screen), becoming a member of the checklist of video games that technically run at 120 FPS on Xbox Series X|S.
Finally, last but certainly not least, there are now three outfits and an extra side mission available for everyone. The outfits were previously preorder bonuses, while the side mission (which stars Hideo Kojima, of Kojima Productions) was locked 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.)

Control is worth revisiting as work on the sequel continues
I’m glad to see Remedy Entertainment sticking with its games and providing an update this far out from release. Yes, it would’ve been nice to have these features a while ago (especially HDR) but better late than never.
I’m tempted to give Control a replay now, especially since it’s going to be a bit before we learn more about Control 2. The developers have confirmed that the sequel will be a full action-RPG, which could be an interesting shake-up compared to Remedy’s prior titles.
For more in that world, you can also check out FBC: Firebreak, Remedy’s co-op shooter that launched back in June. The game is receiving plenty of updates, with more slated to come in the future.
Control: Ultimate Edition is currently available on Xbox Series X|S, Windows PC (Steam and Epic Games Store), and PlayStation 5. It’s also available in Xbox Game Pass at the Essential, Premium, and Ultimate tiers.
