Control Resonant, Remedy Entertainment’s paranatural action RPG starring Dylan Faden, launches digitally on September 24, 2026, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC through Steam and the Epic Games Store. The unlock happens at one fixed moment everywhere rather than rolling out at local midnight, so your exact start time depends on your time zone.
Quick answer: Control Resonant unlocks worldwide at 2:00 PM GMT (7:00 AM PT / 10:00 AM ET) on September 24, 2026. PS5 Digital Deluxe owners start 48 hours early, on September 22 at the same time.
Release time: September 24, 2026, 2:00 PM GMT (7:00 AM PT / 10:00 AM ET / 3:00 PM BST)

Because the game unlocks at the same moment everywhere, switching your console region to New Zealand will not let you play sooner. The only way to start ahead of the crowd is the PS5 Digital Deluxe early access window.
PS5 Digital Deluxe 48-hour early access
The 48-hour early access window is exclusive to PlayStation 5 players who buy the Digital Deluxe Edition ($69.99). Those players can start on September 22, 2026 at 2:00 PM GMT, the same clock time as the global launch two days later.
PC and Xbox do not receive early access. On those platforms, Standard and Digital Deluxe owners can begin playing with the global launch on September 24. For an earlier start, buy the Digital Deluxe Edition through the PlayStation Store by September 22.
Beyond the head start, the Digital Deluxe Edition adds cosmetics and items across all platforms:
- Base game
- 48-hour early access (PS5 only)
- Digital Artbook and Original Soundtrack
- AWE Mission Outfit (three pieces)
- Wallet Artifact and Starter Resource Bundle
Preordering either edition also grants the Hiss Corruption Outfit and the Pickpocket’s Tool Artifact.
Pre-load dates and install sizes
Pre-loading opens 48 hours before each version goes live, and the download is large on every platform, so clearing space early is worthwhile. PS5 Deluxe pre-load opens earliest so those buyers are installed and ready when early access begins.
| Platform | Install size | Pre-load start |
|---|---|---|
| PC (Steam / Epic) | ~104 GB | September 22, 2026 |
| Xbox Series X|S | ~82 GB | September 22, 2026 |
| PS5 (Standard) | ~90 GB | September 22, 2026 |
| PS5 (Deluxe) | ~90 GB | September 20, 2026 |
How to start the pre-load
Leave extra headroom beyond the listed install size. A day-one patch is likely, and you will want space for it before the unlock time hits.
GeForce NOW, Game Pass, and Mac
Control Resonant is confirmed for full day-one GeForce NOW streaming, which is a useful route if your PC cannot meet the system requirements. It is not coming to Xbox Game Pass or PC Game Pass at launch, so playing on day one means buying the game outright through the Microsoft Store, Steam, or the Epic Games Store.
A native Mac version is planned for later in 2026 through Steam and the App Store, though no specific date has been set. Physical disc editions arrive after the digital launch, on October 15, 2026, and carry no early access perk.
