A week ago, Remedy and publisher 505 Games announced Control Ultimate Edition, an upcoming packaging of the title complete with the base game, content updates, and DLC. This upgraded version will first launch on consoles and PC, before making its way to next-gen. Exciting, yes" The trouble lies in the free upgrade path being offered and its various limitations. Only those who purchase Control Ultimate Edition will gain access to a free next-gen upgrade. Early adopters have to double dip. Unsurprisingly, this caused a wave of confusion and dismay. Now Remedy and 505 are offering an explanation, which notes that previously announced upgrade plans remain unchanged.
The explanation appears in a blog post on Control?s website. It starts with a brief statement, segues into an FAQ section, then is rounded out in TL:DR-like fashion. The gist of it is this?apparently, some concessions had to be made in order to bring Control and all of its content to next-gen platforms. Thus, the companies were ?unfortunately unable to offer an upgrade path to all existing Control players.? Because of backward compatibility options, all who purchased the action title?s 2019 edition will still be able to enjoy an improved version on PS5/Xbox Series X.
