- Control Resonant releases worldwide on September 24, 2026, at 7 AM PT/10 AM ET, on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
- PS5 players who pre-order the Digital Deluxe Edition will have 48-hour early access, starting September 22, at 7 AM PT/10 AM ET.

The countdown to Remedy’s highly ambitious sequel, Control Resonant, is officially on, with its launch set for the already-packed month of September. The next chapter in the Control series deals with Jesse Faden’s brother, Dylan Faden, through a paranaturally altered Manhattan to combat the Hiss, the Mold, and other Resonants.
The game expands the series into a more open-ended action-RPG, with Dylan exploring open-ended Zones with his shapeshifting Aberrant weapon. The premise sounds incredibly exciting, and players are eager to get their hands on the game as soon as possible. However, PS5 players may be able to jump in a little earlier, thanks to Control Resonant’s Digital Deluxe Edition’s early access. So, here are the Control Resonant release times with a countdown timer.
Control Resonant Global Release Times (Early Access and Full Release)
Control Resonant officially releases worldwide on September 24, 2026, at 7 AM PT/10 AM ET. However, players who have pre-ordered Control Resonant’s Digital Deluxe Edition on PlayStation 5 will have 48-hour early access to the game. This means the game will unlock on September 22 at 7 AM PT/10 AM ET.
