5th October 2026 Stream Petri Alanko's Hauntingly Beautiful CONTROL Resonant Soundtrack Now!

Not ready to leave Manhattan just yet? Petri Alanko's hauntingly beautiful soundtrack for CONTROL Resonant is now available to stream!

Published by Milan Records and Sony Music, the thirteen-track collection includes The One I Once Knew, heard in the closing credits and featuring Amelia Jones. If you've played Alan Wake 2, you may recognise her name or voice from previous collaborations with Alanko, including End of an Era for The Lake House expansion. (The piece was originally an early exclusive to NME before the full album was released.)

The album also features Obsessive Compulsive Order, the iconic track which was paired with Resonant's announcement trailer at The Game Awards 2025. Released separately as an early teaser in mid-June, the standalone piece announced Alanko's continuing collaboration with the studio!

Known in the games industry for his gorgeous music, Petri Alanko's relationship with Remedy began with Alan Wake and continued through each of the projects since. While he's been involved with the studio for over the past fifteen years, his collaboration is always a treat to discover, having become a staple of the Remedy Connected Universe. His work with CONTROL Resonant pushes the bar further, with a strong soundtrack featuring an emotional core throughout. His eighteen-minute piece, Sibling Theme (Broken Conduit) - Long Version, is the perfect example of the strength and vulnerability he has imbued in his work. 

If you want to learn more about how he brought the soundtrack to life, Alanko has recently spoken to MusicRadar about the creation process.

3rd October 2026 CONTROL Resonant Receives Two Golden Joystick Award Nominations, Best Supporting Actor with Frankie & Best Visuals

CONTROL Resonant may have only just been released, but it's already attracted critical acclaim, receiving two nominations for Best Visual Design and Best Supporting Performer at this year's Golden Joystick Awards.

Voting is now open to the public until October 23rd. The results will be announced at Golden Joystick Awards in Central London on November 11th, broadcast live on YouTube.

Praised for its sweeping, twisted landscapes and gorgeous visuals, it's perhaps no surprise that CONTROL Resonant has been selected for Best Visual Design. For the selection process, the organisers describe the category as recognition of "technical brilliance and artistic flair. These are the games that push the limits of console or PC hardware, or that create coherent, immersive, worlds that we never want to leave, which burn bright in the memory long after we've finished playing." Resonant is up against Forza Horizon 6, SAROS, Phonopolis, Orbitals, and Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy.

Another standout for the game was Zoe De Vera, portrayed by the brilliant Frankie Kevich. "Our Best Supporting Performer award recognises the talented actors who delivered emphatic supporting roles in video games over the past 12 months," describe the ceremony organisers. Kevich's portrayal brings the character to life, from her cautious, slightly antagonistic start to her becoming Dylan's closest confidante. Paired with great writing, Kevich's delivery and emotion made Zoe an instant community favourite. For the category, she is up against Troy Baker (Nathaniel Essex, Marvel's Wolverine), Vic Michaelis (Runa Blask, Star Wars Zero Company), Lennie James (John Greenway), Terry O'Quinn (Richard, Silent Hill Townfall), and Grace Saif (Diana, PRAGMATA).

With CONTROL Resonant in players' hands, Remedy has published a new trailer centred on the enthusiastic response and reviews.

The Accolades Trailer combines gameplay footage with player and media feedback, perfect for persuading those extra friends to join in the fight. Looking at the overwhelming reception, it's perhaps no surprise that just over a week after its launch, the title is also up for two Golden Joystick Awards.

A quick warning to parautilitarians still in the early stages of the game! If you haven't completed the "Plan of Attack" quest yet, you may want to come back to this trailer later. While brief, there's a potential spoiler that you might want to avoid. 

CONTROL Resonant launched on September 24th for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store. A physical edition of the game is set to be released on October 15th.

2nd October 2026 CONTROL Resonant Hotfix 1.4.1 Now Available [Fixes for The Park Storyline Quest & Dylan's Powers]

Following Remedy's massive 1.4.0 update yesterday for CONTROL Resonant, the team has published a smaller hotfix, resolving some issues that had accidentally snuck in following the roll out.

Two main things were resolved with this latest patch. The first now enables players to complete the main questline at The Park. The second allows players to use Dylan's powers in combination. 

Posting the patch notes on their website and Steam page, Remedy writes, "This hotfix addresses two specific issues that yesterday's 1.4.0 Game Update unfortunately broke. There were thousands of changes in 1.4.0 and while we diligently test these updates, some things unfortunately slip. We apologize for any frustration caused."

Official Hotfix 1.4.1 Patch Notes

• Fixed an issue where players were unable to progress The Park Resonant quest because eating the Mold (required quest step) became impossible.
• Fixed Dash canceling while using Elevate: The issue here was that while fixing a bug related to movement, we inadvertently broke the momentum from dashing carrying over to Surge. We apologize for this and lets... move on.
