Remedy Entertainment has released a new update for Control Ultimate Edition out of nowhere, adding all the previously released outfits exclusive to pre-orders. It’s available for PC players and will arrive for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S in the “near future.”
The Extradimensional Suit from the AWE DLC, unlocked by finishing the Crowd Control or Deadline challenges from the SHÜM arcade machine, is also available. However, perhaps the biggest addition is Dr. Yoshimi Tokui’s Guided Imagery Experience, with Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima providing voiceovers. It was previously exclusive to the Digital Deluxe Edition on PS4.
Other notable features include HDR support, an Ultra preset for ray tracing, support for rendering resolutions above 4K, up to 48:9 ultrawide monitor support, and more. PC players can even look forward to DLAA and DLSS 3.7. Furthermore, the audio in the end credits isn’t related to the issue but the result of “unintended channel mixing,” which the update fixes.
