Remedy Entertainment has set Control Resonant for a worldwide launch on September 24, 2026, confirming the date during PlayStation's June 2026 State of Play. The sequel to 2019's Control puts Dylan Faden in the lead role and unfolds across a warped version of Manhattan, with a new story trailer accompanying the announcement and pre-orders going live the same day.
Quick answer: Control Resonant releases September 24, 2026 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Steam and Epic Games Store), with a Mac version following later in 2026 and a 48-hour early access window for the PS5 Digital Deluxe Edition.
Control Resonant release date and platforms
The launch is global on September 24, 2026, with one regional exception: New Zealand receives the game on September 25. Buyers who pick up the PlayStation 5 Digital Deluxe Edition gain access 48 hours before the standard launch, which effectively means a September 22 start for that tier.
The game ships on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC through Steam and the Epic Games Store on day one. A Mac release via Steam and the App Store is planned for later in 2026 rather than at launch. GeForce NOW support is included from release, and the Xbox version supports Xbox Play Anywhere, so a single Microsoft Store purchase covers PC, Xbox Series X|S, and compatible handhelds with cloud saves.

Dylan Faden takes the lead
Control Resonant shifts the playable role from Jesse Faden, who anchored the original game as the Federal Bureau of Control's new Director, to her brother Dylan. The story trailer frames Dylan as a long-confined subject who is now deployed by the FBC after years inside the Oldest House. His mission centers on confronting The Hiss, the otherworldly resonance that overran the Bureau in the first game.
Two threads run alongside that conflict. Dylan is searching for Jesse, whose whereabouts remain unresolved after the original game's events, and he is contending with his own psyche, which can spawn hostile manifestations that play out as enemies during combat. The setting moves the action out of the Oldest House and into a Manhattan reshaped by paranatural forces.
Gameplay direction and genre
Remedy describes Control Resonant as an action-adventure role-playing game, a shift from the more straightforward third-person action framing of the original. Dylan wields a new set of abilities tied to his powers, and encounters mix human-coded threats with manifestations drawn from his internal struggles. The studio has positioned the project as its most ambitious to date.
Pre-order and edition details
Pre-orders opened on June 2, 2026, across digital storefronts on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, along with physical editions. The most notable edition-level difference confirmed so far is the PS5 Digital Deluxe Edition's 48-hour early access window. Edition-specific bonuses beyond that vary by storefront and region, so check the listing on your platform of choice before committing.
Note: Because Control Resonant supports Xbox Play Anywhere, one purchase on the Microsoft Store covers Xbox Series X|S and PC together with synced saves, which removes the need to buy the game twice across those platforms.
With the date locked and the marketing shifting toward Dylan's arc, the runway to release is now a focused three-and-a-half-month stretch. Expect Remedy to fill that window with closer looks at combat systems, the warped Manhattan setting, and how Jesse's storyline intersects with Dylan's mission before the September 24 launch.
