We’ve known for a while that Control from Remedy would come to PlayStation 5 at some point in the future, but now the developer has chosen to present what that exactly means. And, well, it does not make for the best of readings. Control: Ultimate Edition bundles the base game, all of its DLC, and every update and patch to date for both PS5 and PlayStation 4 later this year. It’s the typical reissue we’re seeing again a year or so after the launch of a game. However, this is the on my own version of the game that offers a free upgrade to the console of next gen.
Essentially, what this means is that if you currently have a PS4 copy of Control, and even the Season Pass on it, you will now need to cash out for another version. That’s despite the fact that you already have exactly the same content that the Ultimate Edition has to offer. Like we said, this new version is just bundling the base game, patches and DLC. The only thing is that it allows a free PS5 upgrade.
This is quite the controversial move of Remedy and publisher 505 Games on the fly in the face of what every other gaming company is doing right now. For a full list of all the free PS4 to PS5 game upgrades announced so far, go through the link. Unfortunately, you will not find the basic version of Control there.
