Control Resonant Launches Worldwide at 7 AM PDT on September 24

Remedy Entertainment has confirmed the global launch timing for Control Resonant, with the action RPG set to unlock worldwide at 7 AM PDT on September 24 across Xbox Series X and S, PlayStation 5, and PC.

Players on PS5 who purchase the Digital Deluxe Edition will be able to start earlier through 48 hours of early access.

The announcement arrives as reviews for the game go live, giving players a clearer picture of both its reception and the exact time they can begin playing.

Control Resonant launch details

Control Resonant has received generally positive reviews so far, with a reported Metascore of 84 based on 60 critic reviews.

The game has been praised for its art direction, strange environments, exploration, and the broader paranormal atmosphere associated with the Control series.

Combat has attracted more mixed responses. Some reviews have described encounters as repetitive despite the additional enemy types and the need to adjust tactics depending on what you are fighting.

That criticism does not appear to have significantly affected the broader reception, with most reviews still landing in positive territory.

A larger adventure outside the Oldest House

Control Resonant expands beyond the setting of the original game by taking more of its action into a distorted Manhattan environment.

The sequel continues the series' focus on supernatural events, shifting spaces, and unexplained phenomena while increasing the scale of exploration.

Remedy has also put more emphasis on combat variety, with enemies designed to require different approaches rather than relying on the same strategy throughout every encounter.

The main campaign is expected to take close to 30 hours to complete, making it a substantial release compared with the original Control.

Players who explore optional content are likely to spend longer with the game.

PS5 Digital Deluxe owners can start two days early

The main release remains September 24, but PS5 players buying the Digital Deluxe Edition will receive 48 hours of early access.

That means those players can begin before the standard worldwide unlock, while Xbox and PC players will follow the regular release schedule.

The game is launching simultaneously at 7 AM PDT worldwide rather than using staggered midnight releases based on local time zones.

Control Resonant arrives on September 24 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and S, and PC, with the worldwide unlock time now officially set ahead of release.
