CONTROL Resonant Pre-Order Bonus, Deluxe Edition, and Early Access Details
That is the weirdest pre-order bonus outfit I've ever seen.
CONTROL Resonant finally has a release date: September 2026, a brutal month for our wallets given the number of major releases arriving alongside it. With pre-orders now live, here’s everything included in each edition, the pricing, and how you can start playing CONTROL Resonant a bit early.
CONTROL Resonant Pre-Order Bonus
If you pre-order CONTROL Resonant, you will receive the Hiss Corruption Outfit for Dylan Faden and the Pickpocket’s Tool Artifact.
According to Remedy, Artifacts in CONTROL Resonant are equippable items that provide passive modifiers, allowing you to fine-tune your build. I’m assuming the Pickpocket’s Tool Artifact gives you an edge when gathering items, perhaps? Either way, it will give some gameplay benefit, unlike the Hiss Corruption Outfit, which is a cosmetic item.
Both the Hiss Corruption Outfit and Pickpocket’s Tool Artifact unlock at the end of Act 1.
CONTROL Resonant Digital Deluxe Edition
The Deluxe Edition for CONTROL Resonant comes with the following content:
- Main Game
- Digital Artbook
- Original Soundtrack
- Untapped Artifact (Wallet)
- Starter Resource Bundle
- AWE Mission Outfit
For an additional $10, you’re getting a mix of gameplay and cosmetic items. It also comes with the digital soundtrack and art book.

Remedy has shared early requirements for the title without any targets, but it doesn’t seem that demanding at first glance. I really hope that’s the case since you’d want a high frame rate in an action title, unlike Alan Wake 2, where a lower frame rate wasn’t a huge issue.
Is CONTROL Resonant Coming to PlayStation Plus?
No, CONTROL Resonant is not coming to any tier of PlayStation Plus.
Is CONTROL Resonant Coming to Xbox Game Pass?
No, CONTROL Resonant is not coming to any tier of Xbox Game Pass.
CONTROL Resonant isn’t a $70 title, which immediately makes it a more appealing release, and I’m excited to see Remedy’s take on melee combat blended with action RPG elements. It will no doubt face stiff competition from the many major releases arriving in September. Still, Remedy’s single-player games rarely disappoint, and I have high hopes for Control’s follow-up.
