Control Resonant goes gold — digital Sept 24, disc edition delayed to Oct 15

Control Resonant has gone gold and will release digitally on September 24 for PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, while the physical disc edition is pushed back to October 15. PS5 players who preorder the digital deluxe edition ($70) get two-day early access; the base digital edition costs $60. The action-RPG puts players in the role of Dylan Faden, removes a parry mechanic to emphasize offensive abilities, and explores themes of trauma and redemption. The staggered release leaves disc buyers waiting amid broader industry shifts away from physical media.
