Control, the supernatural thriller by Remedy Entertainment that released earlier this year, will be coming to next-gen consoles.
In an interview with PlayStation Magazine, members of the Control development team clarified they were working on bringing the game to the PS5 and Xbox Project Scarlett, and that the jump in hardware capability would be game-changing for the titles they crate.
Lead Programmer Sean Donnelly spoke glowingly of the increased freedom for developers with more powerful hardware:
"With the extra burden of a detailed destruction system, it’s safe to say we hit the limit on what could be achieved on older CPUs. When it comes to the PS5, faster hardware is always appreciated and will make life easier in the short term.

"But it’s the new SSD that really stands out; essentially streaming will become something that we don’t really have to worry so much about and it will free up some extra CPU bandwidth in the process."
Lead Graphics Programmer Latu Aalto also noted the next-gen consoles' ray tracing capability, saying that it was a "fundamental shift in how to approach computer graphics".
Out of control?
The PS5 and Xbox Project Scarlett consoles are the source of much speculation these days – as while we have an end-of-2020 release window for both, along with increasing detail concerning the capabilities of the hardware, it's the games that are going to make or break each console, and players are naturally wondering what experiences are going to make it onto the next Xbox and PlayStation.
Control is an AAA game already pushing the limits of current-gen hardware, making the most of recent developments in ray tracing technology – a key feature of both of the PS5 and Xbox Scarlett consoles – with Remedy initially recommending only the most powerful GPU graphics cards to handle the game.
It sounds, then, that the PS5 and Xbox Scarlett will be able to elevate current-gen games with re-releases, and Control is likely just one of a long list of recent games set to get an upgrade come 2020-2021.
