Control Ultimate Edition Digital PS5 and Xbox Series X Launch Delayed to Early 2021 Alongside Physical Release

Control Ultimate Edition

Remedy Entertainment have announced the digital PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X release date of Control Ultimate Edition has been delayed to early 2021.

Control is available on Windows PC (via the Epic Games Store), PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. The Ultimate Edition is also available on those platforms (on Windows PC via the Epic Games Store, and Steam).

The Ultimate Edition was also originally slated for 2020 digitally on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X; with an early 2021 physical release for both next-gen consoles. However, developer Remedy Entertainment have now issued a statement via Twitter that the Ultimate Edition will now come to next-gen consoles; digitally or otherwise, in early 2021.

An update from the development team: Control Ultimate Edition will arrive on next generation platforms early 2021.

We want the final quality of the game to be awesome, and so we need a bit more time to work on it. Thank you for your understanding and patience!

Control Ultimate Edition has had a rocky road since its announcement. We previously reported on that game being the only way to upgrade Control to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X.

This drew ire from many, as other next-gen upgrades had been free. Publisher 505 Games later explained that the issue stemmed from the challenges of upgrading the game due to not wanting to exclude players.

Players of Control also briefly found they were able to upgrade to the Ultimate Edition despite 505 Games prior statements; only to lose access 24 hours later, and be asked to buy it. 505 Games later stated that the physical version of the Ultimate Edition on Xbox One required an online connection to download “the latest expansions;” as the Xbox One disc was too small.

UPDATE: You can find the full rundown on the game (via Steam) below.
