Unlike the base version of Control, the previously announced Control Ultimate Edition includes a free next-generation upgrade, allowing players to experience the game at its best on the Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S and PS5. These next-gen versions of the game are now set to release on February 2, 2021 for digital owners, with a physical release on March 2, 2021.
Control: Ultimate Edition supports two different modes on high-end consoles — a 60 FPS performance mode and a 30 FPS mode with ray-tracing, both of which are features that simply weren’t possibly on the lower-end consoles when the game first released in 2019. You can check out both modes in action thanks to some footage Remedy Entertainment shared earlier:
Control passed 2 million copies sold as of November 2020 and is now available in Xbox Game Pass. It’s just the base version though, not the Ultimate Edition that will be getting the next-generation upgrade.
Control: Ultimate Edition also includes the various DLC packs released earlier this year, including the AWE expansion, or Altered World Event, which editor Carli Velocci found somewhat lacking in her review.
