Control Resonant PS5 Early Access Frustrates PC and Xbox Gamers

Daniel Cross 2 min read

Control Resonant launches Sept 24 with PS5 exclusive early access for Digital Deluxe Edition buyers, frustrating PC and Xbox gamers waiting for the global release.

Control Resonant is drawing frustration from players who cannot access the game early. Remedy Entertainment granted owners a 48-hour head start, while Xbox and PC gamers must wait until the full global launch. This platform-specific exclusivity for early access has sparked debate among the community. Buyers who pre-ordered the Digital Deluxe Edition on PC and Xbox did not receive this early access benefit.

The game releases globally on September 24th at 10 AM EDT. Players without early access can begin exploring the supernatural Manhattan setting at that time. Pre-loads are available on 24 hours before the unlock time. The Digital Deluxe Edition serves as the only way to secure the PS5 exclusive early access window.

Notebookcheck reported that the image quality on PlayStation consoles lacks luster. This visual limitation detracts from the overall presentation of the game. The original Control game featured PlayStation exclusives like the isolation side mission. Those specific exclusives are not mentioned as being included in Control Resonant.

We looked at the last Control Resonant update earlier while tracking balance and stability themes. The current release focuses on the 30-hour story campaign. The early access window remains a point of contention for non-PlayStation users. The full game is now available to all platforms.
