Remedy Entertainment’s highly anticipated sequel Control Resonant launches Thursday, Sept. 24 at 10 a.m. EDT on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S, and Windows PC, inviting players back into the studio’s supernatural universe through a new protagonist. Instead of following Jesse Faden, gamers step into the shoes of her brother Dylan as they explore a twisted version of Manhattan in what marks another chapter within Remedy’s expanding multiverse.
The global release is staggered across time zones to accommodate players worldwide, with early access available even sooner for those who pre-ordered the digital deluxe edition. The standard launch window opens at 10 a.m. EDT on the east coast of North America, which translates to 7 a.m. PDT on the west coast and extends internationally throughout the day.
Global Release Times by Region
Players around the world can begin their journey through the Federal Control Office’s eerie Manhattan counterpart at different times depending on their location. The release schedule has been carefully coordinated so that gamers across major regions can dive in during reasonable hours.
“Dylan is ultimately a protagonist that never managed to elicit a strong emotion in me. Jesse felt like a friend; Dylan feels like that co-worker you begrudgingly tolerate.”
Willa Rowe, Polygon review
The west coast of North America can start playing at 7 a.m. PDT on Thursday, Sept. 24, while the east coast gains access at 10 a.m. EDT the same day. Players in Brazil unlock the game at 11 a.m. BRT on Thursday, Sept. 24, and those in the U.K. can begin their adventure at 3 p.m. BST.

Pre-Order Bonuses and Early Access
Those eager to explore Manhattan before everyone else can take advantage of early access opportunities tied to pre-order bonuses. Pre-ordering Control Resonant comes with a variety of benefits, particularly for those who choose the digital deluxe edition.
If you pre-order the regular edition, you will receive two unique items: the Hiss Corruption Outfit and the Pickpocket’s Tool Artifact. Regardless of which version you purchase, these in-game rewards can only be claimed after you complete Act 1.
The digital deluxe edition offers additional perks beyond the standard bonuses. In addition to the Hiss Corruption Outfit and Pickpocket’s Tool Artifact, this premium version includes the Occult Outfit and grants 48-hour early access to the game, allowing players to start on Sept. 22—two days before the global launch.
Owners of the Control Resonant digital deluxe edition will also receive a collection of additional bonuses including a digital artbook, original soundtrack, Untapped artifact (Wallet), starter resource bundle, and the AWE Mission Outfit.
Looking Ahead
With the release date firmly set for Thursday, Sept. 24, players worldwide can now plan their gaming sessions according to their local time zones. The staggered global launch ensures that fans from North America to Asia and Australia can all experience Remedy’s supernatural thriller as it rolls across the globe.
