Remedy Entertainment has released a new 1.30 update for Control: Ultimate Edition on PC today. The update will also come to PS5 and Xbox Series X|S at a later date.
The main draw of the update is that the mission, Dr. Yoshimi Tokui’s Guided Imagery Experience, will now be available when players pick up the Dr. Tokui Tapes collectibles in the Extrasensory Lab of the Research Sector. This mission features voiceover by Hideo Kojima, and was previously exclusive to the PS4 digital deluxe edition of Control.
There were several suits that were locked away as a preorder bonuses or rewards for completing certain tasks, but now they’re available to all players by equipping them from the Control Point in the Central Executive area. They are the Astral Dive Suit, Tactical Response Gear, Urban Response Gear, and Extradimensional Suit.
Finally, there have been new graphics updates, such as added HDR support, ultra ray-tracing, ultra-wide monitor support for up to 48:9, and rendering resolution support beyond 4K.
Remedy Entertainment is currently working on Control 2, which entered full production last month, as well as FBC: Firebreak, a multiplayer game set in the Control universe. The Max Payne 1 and 2 remakes also already entered full production back in August 2024.
Control: Ultimate Edition is also currently on sale at GameSpot’s sister site, Fanatical, for $7.19.
