A new free update for Control and Control Ultimate Edition will be coming to consoles on October 6th, providing the perfect excuse to jump back into the FBC. The patch will see a number of PlayStation pre-order cosmetics added to the game, alongside the exclusive mission starring fellow developer, Hideo Kojima.
PC owners have already received the patch back in March, with the release of update 1.30. While likely to be similar, the patch notes for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S update will be published on Monday.
Alongside the March 2025 update, the studio also published a blog post on the game's website detailing the challenge of bringing the new content to the game. In the article, Remedy's Senior Community Manager, Vida Starčević wrote “While this has always been the plan, it’s taking us a while to ensure that the update propagates (correctly!) across multiple stores and editions of our six-year-old game. We thank you for your understanding, as we’ve had some… surprising things happen now that the patch is live.”
Even back then, bringing the update to consoles was already on the books, as she continues, “In the near future we will release this same update for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S platforms. We have a small team working on these updates so we want to space them out to give us time to fix potential issues that might come up. We appreciate your patience!”
While the game was released six years ago, Remedy has double-down its commitment to the Control and Alan Wake IPs in their recent H1 Financial Review with plans to expand both.
