Is your PC ready for Control Resonant?

Can you run it? Control Resonant’s PC system requirements have arrived

Remedy Entertainment has just released its PC system requirements for Control Resonant, which is coming to PC and consoles on September 24th. These system requirements confirm that Control Resonant will be a challenging game to max out on PC. However, the game will be much easier to run if gamers dial down settings like ray tracing.

Remedy’s newest games have all been graphical showcases. Control and Alan Wake 2 are both great-looking games. This is especially true on PC, where Remedy has made excellent use of modern PC hardware and graphical effects. Like Control, Control Resonant will be playable with and without ray tracing. On PC, the game will even include a path tracing mode.

Like prior Remedy games, Control Resonant supports several advanced PC features. This includes ultra-wide screen support, an uncapped framerate, modern upscalers like DLSS 4.5 and FSR 4.1, and their accompanying Frame Generation technologies. On PC, the game calls for 120GB of SSD storage and 16GB of system memory. VRAM requirements are also fairly low for a modern game, which is good news for users of older graphics cards.

PC System Requirements

Overall, Control Resonant’s PC system requirements are reasonable. Upscaling is enabled for all supported hardware, with the game supporting DLSS 4.5 and FSR 4.1 upscaling and Frame Generation. Note that the framerate targets below are real framerates without Frame Generation enabled.

Ray Tracing

With ray tracing enabled, Control Resonant will require much higher-end PC hardware. That said, the game won’t demand something like an RTX 5090 for 4K 60 FPS performance. That said, the game does call for an RTX 5080 with DLSS Super Resolution set to Performance mode.
