2019’s Control was quite the title for Remedy Entertainment. In many ways it was an accumulation of many of their various themes and gameplay tropes blended into quite the package. The game made its full next gen debut this month, but not without some issues. Seems Remedy is on board to try and fix that.
Remedy’s Communications Director Thomas Puha took to Twitter to say that the game on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S will get an update to address the crashes and other mission-related bugs that is planned to release today. As of now the update has not gone live as of writing this, but should soon. Puha also says to expect them to continue investigating the issues many have reported on the Xbox side of things for a later update.
Control: Ultimate Edition is available now on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One and PC. It is also available for free this month to PS Plus subscribers.
Expect an update for Control Ultimate Edition on Wednesday for PS5 and Series X|S. It fixes some of the crash issues on X|S and mission related bugs.

Then, we're investigating Series X|S crashes with Microsoft, with a fix currently in testing. This would be another update. We'll have more on this as soon as possible.
