Control Resonant on PS5, PS5 Pro, Xbox Series X|S and PC — Modes and Requirements

PS5
Performance 60fps at 1440p, Quality 30fps at 2160p (Remedy).
PS5 Pro
Performance 60fps at 2160p, plus ray-traced Quality (30fps) and Balanced (40fps, 120Hz display) modes (Remedy).
PC minimum
GTX 1070 / RX 5600 XT / Arc A580, i5-8500 / Ryzen 5 3500, 16 GB RAM, 120 GB SSD, for 1080p at 30fps on Low.
Other
Steam rates it Unsupported on Steam Deck for graphics performance, though Remedy's FAQ had promised support before launch; GeForce NOW since launch; Mac later in 2026. Update 1.4.0 targeted performance on the PC minimum and recommended specs. AMD Radeon: on 26 September Remedy acknowledged crashes, driver timeouts and frame-rate drops, and said AMD is preparing a driver update; AMD has since released optional driver 26.9.2, which Remedy's update 1.4.0 notes say improves performance and fixes several crashes.

What independent analysis found on consoles

  • Independent analysis: Xbox Series X renders at about 864p in its 60fps mode and 1260p in its 30fps mode, both largely stable; Series S has a single mode at 864p and 30fps with settings matching the Series X's 30fps mode.
  • Remedy's 1440p and 2160p figures for PS5 are output targets; the measured figures are the resolution the game renders at before upscaling, so the two are not measuring the same thing. We did not find measured base-PS5 figures in a source we could read.
  • The same analysis found incoherent distant shadows, weak screen-space reflections, camera collision problems and visible image breakup on every console except the PS5 Pro.
  • One review played on PS5 Pro and found performance mode steady and sharp; on a base PS5 the image was softer and the frame rate dipped in heavy fights.
  • No Remedy post we read lists Xbox Series X|S modes. The Xbox store lists the game as optimized for Series X|S.

Common to every PC tier

Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit; 16 GB of RAM; 120 GB of storage, SSD required. The minimum and recommended rows match the Steam page exactly; the other four come from Remedy's spec sheet as transcribed by the press. Upscaling: DLSS 4.5 and FSR 4.1, with frame generation optional; there is no XeSS. Nvidia adds DLSS 4.5 Ray Reconstruction, Dynamic Multi Frame Generation up to 6X, and full path tracing; RTX Mega Geometry is reportedly supported as well. Nvidia's frame-rate figures, such as up to 320fps at 4K on an RTX 5090, are with 6X frame generation and are Nvidia's own marketing numbers.

Everywhere else

🎮 Steam Deck
Steam rates it Unsupported on Steam Deck, for graphics performance. Remedy's FAQ on Steam had said before launch that it would be supported.
☁️ GeForce NOW

🍎 Mac
Later in 2026, through Steam and the App Store (Remedy). No date or requirements yet.
🌐 Languages
Steam lists 15 languages and the Xbox store 14. Arabic interface and subtitles are promised after launch.
🎧 PS5 extras

Cross-checked

Cross-checked on 23 September 2026 against Remedy's posts on the PlayStation Blog, the Steam store page, Remedy's FAQ on Steam, the Xbox store listing, Nvidia's GeForce news post, and the coverage of Digital Foundry (as Pure Xbox reports it; we did not watch the video), Push Square, TweakTown, DSOGaming and Wikipedia, and re-checked on 3 October 2026 against DSOGaming's PC performance analysis, Club386 and GameGPU's report of Remedy's AMD statement, and on 6 October 2026 against Steam's Steam Deck compatibility report and Remedy's update 1.4.0 notes. Not from a playthrough: nobody here has played it, and what the sources do not describe is not on this page.
