We want the final quality of the game to be awesome, and so we need a bit more time to work on it. Thank you for your understanding and patience!
Control: Ultimate Edition will include all post-launch contents, DLC expansion packs alongside base game. Only players who purchased a copy on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One will receive free upgrade to next-gen console versions.
Remedy requiring more time to work on Control: Ultimate Edition is clearly understandable but 505 Games forcing players to shell out more money to buy next-gen upgrade path undoubtedly ruins a great experience for everyone.
