An award-winning PS5 action-adventure game is getting a surprise free update with new content and improvements. Control: Ultimate Edition, which was previously a PS Plus monthly game, has already received March 2025’s big update on PC, with PS5 and Xbox Series X|S to follow. Last-gen versions will not be patched.
All Control: Ultimate Edition owners and players will be able to download the update, which includes cosmetics and gear that were previously pre-order exclusives as well as a mission that was exclusive to the PS4 digital deluxe edition. The game is currently part of PS Plus Extra, and as long as it remains in the catalog, subscribers will be able go enjoy the new content.
Patch notes for the PC version are as follows. Remedy Entertainment has said that the same update will be rolled out to consoles minus PC-exclusive features.
