Control: Resonant PC Requirements Revealed Ahead of September Launch
Remedy Entertainment has revealed the first PC system requirements for Control: Resonant, giving players an early look at what kind of hardware they will need to run the upcoming supernatural action game. Control: Resonant is scheduled to launch on September 24 for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.
First unveiled during The Game Awards last year, Control: Resonant has quickly become one of the more anticipated releases on the 2026 gaming calendar. Following its latest appearance during State of Play, the game now has a confirmed release date, and PC players can start preparing their systems ahead of launch.
The initial PC requirements appear surprisingly reasonable. According to Remedy Entertainment, the minimum GPU requirement is an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 or an AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT. While the studio has not yet confirmed the exact resolution, graphics preset, or frame rate target for these minimum specs, the hardware demands suggest that Control: Resonant may be accessible to a wide range of gaming PCs.
At minimum, players will also need 16 GB of RAM and 100 GB of SSD storage. Compared to the original Control, this is a noticeable increase. The RAM requirement has doubled, while the storage demand is more than twice as large. The SSD requirement also suggests that faster storage may play an important role in reducing load times and supporting the game’s more advanced environments.
For those looking for a stronger visual experience, Remedy recommends an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 or an AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT. The recommended RAM requirement remains at 16 GB. On the processor side, a Ryzen 7 3700X or an equivalent Intel CPU should be enough to meet the recommended target.
Overall, the listed PC requirements do not appear overly demanding, especially for a modern action game from a studio known for impressive visuals, atmospheric design, and advanced rendering techniques. However, the lack of detailed performance targets means players should treat these specifications as an early guideline rather than a complete picture.
Gamers hoping to play Control: Resonant at 4K resolution with ray tracing, high-end visual settings, and maximum graphical features enabled will likely need a much more powerful PC. A stronger GPU, faster CPU, and possibly more memory may be necessary for those aiming for the smoothest performance at ultra settings.
More detailed PC performance information is expected closer to release. Remedy is likely to share additional details about resolution targets, frame rates, graphics presets, ray tracing support, and other technical features in the months leading up to launch.
Control: Resonant arrives on September 24 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S. Pre-orders are now available, giving fans of Remedy’s cinematic action games a chance to secure the title ahead of its release.
