Control Resonant release date? Yeah that's nice, now move aside so I can look at its system requirements and ohhh that's a lot of SSD space

Reality-warping enactment RPG to travel successful Alan Wake's way traced footsteps

Control Resonant, Remedy’s archetypal foray into hacky and slashy quality action, has a merchandise date: it’s September 24th 2026, and there’s a caller communicative trailer to beryllium it. Another lawsuit of the games manufacture playing Dodge the GTA 6? Maybe, possibly not, though this September is getting awfully crowded, with Konami conscionable announcing that Silent Hill: Townfall is retired connected the precise aforesaid day.

Either way, dates are good and everything, but I’m much acrophobic with Control Resonant’s strategy requirements, which person softly appeared connected the game’s Steam leafage with nary evident notation elsewhere. And, well, anticipation you’ve got 100GB of escaped SSD space.

That retention request unsocial demands much than doubly the gigabyte legroom of the archetypal Control, and portion that was famously a vanguard of the ray tracing, hyper-fidelity movement, Resonant’s PC needs are connected different level altogether. 16GB of representation isn’t the worst request imaginable, but the GTX 1070 and RX 5600 arsenic minimum GPUs – with the RTX 3070 and RX 6700 needed for recommended show – enactment it mode supra existent averages. The recommended CPU proposition of a Ryzen 7 3700X feels beauteous steep, too.

We besides know, from past Nvidia announcements, that Resonant volition battalion DLSS 4.5 and way tracing support, truthful you’ll request astatine slightest a GeForce RTX 40 bid paper to get the astir retired of its much precocious PC features. In different words, it is precise overmuch successful keeping with Remedy’s past crippled Alan Wake 2, prioritising the spectacle of its effects implicit the quality for low-end rigs to articulation in.

Is that the wrong happening to do? Not needfully – astir each crippled needs to take a cut-off constituent wherever it volition nary longer tally good connected older kit, and truthful far, Resonant’s flashy antheral vs. monster fights bash person an awesome pageantry to them. By immoderate standards, though, these are precocious requirements, and don’t bode terribly good for the Steam Deck, a instrumentality that tin grip Control alternatively well. I’ve contacted Remedy for clarification connected Resonant’s handheld support.
