Control Resonant is Remedy’s next big thing, but it continues to support its predecessors, namely Control Ultimate Edition and Alan Wake 2. After adding PS5 Pro support for both titles, the developer confirmed that they’ll benefit from the recently released Upgraded PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR).
Available earlier this month, the upgraded upscaler offered even higher image quality for supporting games, starting with Capcom’s Resident Evil Requiem. You can expect the same for Control Ultimate Edition and Alan Wake 2, with Remedy promising “noticeable improvements in image stability and clarity of motion.”
Which is interesting because when it first implemented PSSR for Alan Wake 2, it received no shortage of criticism. Of course, Remedy worked to improve on this, adding ray-traced reflections in Quality Mode and an improved resolution in Performance Mode. It also eventually provided the option to turn off PSSR.
Upgraded PSSR must be enabled separately as well, so those who don’t like it can continue to enjoy both titles in their current PS5 Pro iterations. When these will be available is unknown, but Remedy says “soon.”
Of course, with its older titles embracing the same, it seems a given that Control Resonant will follow. It was recently confirmed to feature Path Tracing and RTX Mega Geometry on PC at launch later this year, so stay tuned for updates.
