Remedy Entertainment has released the long-awaited Control Ultimate Edition update 1.30 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, following its earlier debut on PC. The update brings a range of free additions, including new character outfits and the previously exclusive “Dr. Yoshimi Tokui’s Guided Imagery Experience” mission, featuring voiceover by Hideo Kojima. The mission can now be accessed by collecting the Dr. Tokui Tapes in the Extrasensory Lab within the Research Sector.
In addition to the new content, this update delivers significant visual and performance improvements on next-generation consoles. PlayStation 5 Pro and Xbox Series X|S players can now enable Variable Refresh Rate (VRR), HDR, and 120Hz display output, alongside enhanced texture filtering, anti-aliasing, and color depth for smoother gameplay.
