‘Control’ Headed to the PS5 and Xbox Series X
Amidst all of the excitement with Sony’s Future of Gaming event, Remedy decided to drop a little surprise: Their award-winning psychological thriller Control will be coming not only to the PlayStation 5, but the Xbox Series X!
Of course, Remedy wasn’t about to give out the details just yet, but rest assured that we’ll be hearing about it soon enough. With the added power of ray-tracing for the PS5 and Series X, an already gorgeous game is about to look that much better.
Meanwhile, PC gamers equipped with an Nvidia RTX card can get a glimpse at just what’s in store for the next generation of consoles.
Control is out now on PS4, Xbox One and PC via the Epic Games Store. Currently, the latest DLC is The Foundation (check out our take), with the second expansion, AWE, coming later this year.
We’re glad to be able to share that @ControlRemedy will be coming to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. More details coming at a later date. #PlayStation5 #XboxSeriesX
