Remedy Entertainment confirmed that its upcoming sequel Control Resonant will support the Steam Deck at launch. The studio shared this detail during coverage of Summer Game Fest, where the game received positive feedback for its story and gameplay. The news is relevant for handheld gamers seeking a smooth, plug-and-play experience that avoids the need for custom settings or workarounds.

Remedy Entertainment confirms native playability and optimized combat mechanics for portable hardware.
Control Resonant builds on the original title by introducing refined combat mechanics that include light and heavy attacks alongside three unique abilities and a dedicated combo breaker. The studio developed these systems to make encounters more engaging as players unlock additional skills later in the game. The narrative continues directly after the events of the first Control, maintaining consistency with the established universe.
The developer aims to ensure good performance and visual quality for portable play on Valve's hardware. While official performance metrics are not yet available, Remedy Entertainment is prioritizing stability and smooth gameplay for handheld users. The developer's approach reflects a growing industry trend of adapting PC games to run well on smaller, portable devices.

Control Resonant launches on September 24th and is available for pre-purchase at $59.99. We looked at Moss The Forgotten Relic preview Steam Deck performance earlier while tracking similar balance and stability themes from the last steam deck update.
The studio is broadening its catalog by releasing games that are specifically tuned for handheld play. Control Resonant offers a refined combat loop and direct narrative continuation that should appeal to fans of the series.
