Control: Resonant PC requirements revealed

After its debut at The Game Awards last year, Control: Resonant has got a release date, and like several other titles announced at yesterday’s State of Play, it's coming out in September. Remedy Entertainment is the studio behind the game, and they have now shared the PC requirements.

The requirements seem quite modest, asking for a minimum of a GTX 1070 or Radeon RX 5600 XT. While the resolution and performance targets are not included in this reveal, more detailed information will be shared ahead of launch. At minimum, Control: Resonant needs 16 GB of RAM and 100 GB SSD storage space, which, in comparison to the original Control, is double the RAM and more than double the storage.

For a more visually immersive experience, Remedy recommends an RTX 3070 or a Radeon RX 6700 XT. The RAM requirement doesn’t change. For the CPU, a Ryzen 7 3700X or an Intel equivalent will suffice. Overall, that’s not a lot of raw horsepower being demanded, which is great.

Of course, running the game at 4K (3,840 x 2,160) resolution with ray-tracing and maxed out settings would require a beefier setup. As commenters have pointed out, the performance targets are unclear, so these requirements only paint a partial picture of optimizations and graphical technologies. We should get more information on that front in the coming months.

Control: Resonant is slated for a September 24 launch on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series consoles. Pre-orders are already live.
