Control Resonant release date: the PS5 launch day
The PlayStation date is now clear. Control Resonant launches worldwide on PS5 on September 24, 2026. PlayStation lists New Zealand for September 25.
That moves the game from a broad 2026 window to a real calendar slot. It also gives players time to plan around a busy release season.
The timing makes sense for Remedy. Control grew through word of mouth. Alan Wake 2 later proved that strange, premium single-player games can still cut through.
What the new Control Resonant trailer shows
The trailer puts Dylan Faden at the center of the story. Jesse led the first Control. This time, Dylan carries the mystery and the danger.
Manhattan also looks like a full paranatural disaster zone. Buildings bend. Streets feel unstable. Reality seems infected by a new kind of resonance.
The trailer also introduces the Aberrant, a shapeshifting melee weapon. That points to a more physical combat loop than the first game’s Service Weapon.
PC price, Deluxe Edition and early access
The Epic Games Store listing shows the Windows version at $59.99. It also lists a $69.99 Deluxe Edition. Both entries show September 24, 2026 as the availability date.
PlayStation says the PS5 Digital Deluxe Edition includes 48 hours of early access. That is useful for committed Remedy fans, but casual players should compare editions first.
PC system requirements are still marked as TBD on Epic. If your hardware is older, wait for final specs before preordering.

Should you preorder Control Resonant now?
That depends on how much you trust Remedy. If you loved Control and Alan Wake 2, the sequel already has a strong pitch. It has a date, a trailer and a defined lead character.
The melee shift is the big test. Control felt great because its powers and ranged combat were fast and readable. Resonant needs the Aberrant to feel just as sharp.
For now, the safest move is to watch the trailer and compare the official store pages. Wait for deeper gameplay if you are still unsure.
