Remedy will NOT be offering free upgrades for its game

Do note this will NOT be a free upgrade for players who do not have the Ultimate Edition of the game.

As a result, players who own the base version of the game and the battle pass will still not get free upgrades as they do not have the Ultimate Edition.

Since its launch in 2019, Control has managed to sell over two million copies worldwide. The game is definitely a unique experience in itself, and Remedy has been rewarded for its efforts. The game also received fantastic reviews where critics praised the game’s mechanics, story, and visuals.

IGN’s Jonathon Dornbush wrote, “Control is set in an engrossingly weird paranormal world that I couldn’t help but explore. Jesse’s versatile psychic skills and main weapon make for thrilling ranged combat.

“And thanks to a strong supporting cast, a well-written script, and plenty of intriguing breadcrumb trails, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my adventure through the shifting rooms of Oldest House. Jesse’s personal story feels like an afterthought next to that, but there’s enough to Control’s world that I remain invested in uncovering every secret, even though the story’s over.”

The Ultimate Edition for PS5 and Series X will also soon get its own trailer. Keep watching this space for further updates on the same.
