‘Control Ultimate Edition’ Announced for Steam; Will Arrive in Both Physical And Digital Versions For Consoles
If for whatever reason, you haven’t grabbed Remedy’s Control (I mean, there’s that new DLC coming pretty quickly, after all), and with the game’s exclusivity deal with the Epic Games Store coming up soon, Remedy are sweetening the pot with the announcement of Control Ultimate Edition for Steam on August 27th.
Don’t worry, as the Ultimate Edition will be headed to other platforms. Control Ultimate Edition will launch for consoles, both current and next-gen, in both physical and digital versions:
- September 10 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC via the Epic Games Store (digital edition)
- End of 2020 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One (physical edition)
- End of 2020 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X (digital edition)
- Early 2021 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X (physical edition)
Those who purchase Control Ultimate Edition on PlayStation 4 or Xbox One will be able to upgrade to the PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X versions free of charge. This option will not be available for users who purchased the original Control, however. As you might expect, Control Ultimate Edition includes the base game, the first expansion “The Foundation,” the second expansion “AWE,” and all content updates since the release of the original game.
And if you’re curious about what we thought about the game, we loved it (even if the PS4 initially had its performance hiccups).
Given its content, it’d be apropos for GPTRACK50 to release its zombie action-adventure RPG Stupid Never Dies around Halloween, wouldn’t it? That’s exactly what we’re getting, as the game will launch October 21 for PC via Steam and PlayStation 5. The announcement was accompanied by a short trailer featuring Phoenix Zaza Hotfeathers, a cosmic custodian who bears more than a passing resemblance to MC Hammer, busting a move.
As if that wasn’t enough to get you excited for the apocalypse, players can get an early listen to Stupid Never Dies‘ soundtrack with the release of two tracks—the official theme songs for the game—on August 4. The tracks will be available to stream via Amazon Music, Apple Music, Spotify, and other major music streaming platforms. In the meantime, you can check them out below via YouTube.
In the aftermath of the Great War, humanity teeters on the brink of extinction and monsters rule the land. At the bottom rung of this society is Davy, a lowly zombie scraping by in a deserted shopping mall. One day, he discovers the human girl Julia frozen to death in a freezer…and falls in love at first sight. Motivated by his newfound crush, Davy finds his purpose in undeath: to bring Julia back to life, then to ask her out.
