Control Resonant PC Requirements Are More Reserved Than You Might Expect

Ahead of its release in September, Remedy Entertainment has revealed the recommended PC specifications for Control Resonant, and they aren't as demanding as you might think. Hot on the heels of the game's latest trailer during Sony's State of Play, Remedy shared the minimum and recommended hardware configurations you'll need for Control Resonant later this year, with GPUs and CPUs from several generations past being the most demanding aspects. On the recommended front, Resonant will require either an RTX 3070 or AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT, which released all the way back in 2020 and 2021 respectively. They're also severely limited cards when it comes to memory by modern standards. The RTX 3070 specifically features only 8GB of VRAM, which has been too little for many recent releases. That bodes well if you're still clinging onto older hardware in light of the ongoing AI-driven memory crisis, which has made everything with fast memory more expensive to purchase. Minimum: OS: Windows 10/ 11 (64-bit required) Processor: Intel corei5-8500 or AMD equivalent Memory: 16GB RAM Graphics: GeForce GTX 1070 / Radeon RX 5600 XT Storage: 100GB SSD Recommended: OS: Windows 10/ 11 (64-bit required) Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X or Intel equivalent Memory: 16GB RAM Graphics: GeForce RTX 3070 / Radeon RX 6700 XT Storage: 100GB SSD The caveat here is that while Remedy Entertainment seems to be catering to players with aging systems, there's no indication yet what type of performance you can expect with these configurations. The studio says that information will come closer to launch, presumably with breakdowns indicating what hardware you'll need to run the sequel at higher resolutions with more graphically demanding settings like ray tracing, which the first Control was renowned for. Control Resonant is launching on September 24, and there's a slew of other massive games occupying the same month such as Marvel's Wolverine, Onimusha: Way of the Sword, Silent Hill: Townfall, and more.
