Remedy Entertainment used the latest State of Play to unveil new details about Control Resonant, the long‑awaited sequel to the acclaimed supernatural action game. The studio confirmed a global release date of September 24, 2026 and revealed that PlayStation 5 players who purchase the Digital Deluxe Edition will gain 48 hours of early access before anyone else. This benefit will not be available on Xbox Series X/S or PC.
A Controversial Early Access Window
The announcement immediately stirred discussion across social media and gaming forums. Some players see the early access window as a welcome perk for PS5 users, while others argue that locking the benefit to a single platform feels unnecessary, especially since Deluxe Editions are similarly priced across all systems. Despite the debate, Remedy emphasized that all core content will still launch simultaneously on every platform on the official release date.
Pre‑Orders Open With Deluxe Extras
Pre‑orders for Control Resonant are now live on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC, priced between $59.99 and $69.99 depending on the platform. The Digital Deluxe Edition includes a digital art book, the official soundtrack and additional in‑game content, with PS5 players receiving the exclusive early access period as an added bonus.
A More Ambitious Sequel Takes Shape
Control Resonant promises a larger scope than its predecessor, featuring new supernatural abilities, expanded worldbuilding and a narrative built around player choice and consequence. As one of Remedy’s most anticipated projects of 2026, the sequel aims to push the series into bold new territory.
