Is Control Resonant worth watching this week?

The September 24 launch moves Control’s strange physics into a warped Manhattan and puts Dylan Faden at the center.

Remedy’s next Control story arrives September 24 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC, and GeForce NOW, with Mac planned later. It follows Dylan Faden through a warped Manhattan, expanding the series beyond the Oldest House. Watch for how the new setting changes the telekinetic combat and whether cloud play makes the demanding visuals more accessible without a high-end PC.

Why this launch matters for Control fans

The first Control stayed inside one shape-shifting building, the Oldest House. Resonant takes the series into a warped Manhattan and switches the lead to Dylan Faden, whose story ran underneath the original game. That tests Remedy: the telekinetic combat fans love must survive a bigger, more open setting, and Dylan must carry a story his sister carried before.

What to do, step by step

1. If you are new, play the original Control first; Dylan's story lands much harder with that background.
2. Check your platform before buying: it is on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, with Mac planned later.
3. If your PC is older, consider GeForce NOW, which streams the demanding visuals without a high-end card.
4. Watch coverage for performance on your system, since open areas test hardware harder than the Oldest House did.
5. Judge how combat changes: movement through a city, not corridors, is the big experiment.
