Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to play the first CONTROL before CONTROL Resonant?
No. Remedy Entertainment states that the sequel was designed to welcome new players. Playing the original can provide additional background, but it is not a prerequisite for understanding the new adventure.
Can I unlock every ability during one playthrough?
Not necessarily. Remedy explains that the progression system includes meaningful specialization and that not everything can be unlocked in a single playthrough.
Does using Assist Mode affect trophies?
Remedy confirms that trophies and achievements are not locked behind Assist Mode settings. You can adjust the challenge without being required to avoid the accessibility options.
Can I upgrade the physical CONTROL Resonant edition to Digital Deluxe?
Remedy's official support guide states that the separately sold Digital Deluxe Upgrade is intended for eligible digital Standard Edition owners. It is not currently a supported upgrade path for the Physical or SteelBook Editions.
Is the game structured like a traditional open-world checklist?
Remedy describes the city as a collection of carefully designed zones rather than an open world built around clearing every map marker. The emphasis is on exploring distinctive locations and discovering activities naturally.
