Control Now Plays on iPhone and iPad
Price: $5 – the full Ultimate Edition, bundling the original game with Foundation and AWE expansions.
A Mobile Make‑over
Remedy Entertainment’s critically acclaimed title Control is now available on iOS devices.
The launch brings a high‑profile AAA experience to phones and tablets, joining the growing list of big games finding new life on mobile platforms.
From 2019 to Now
- Original Release (2019):
Control debuted to widespread acclaim, earning a spot among the year’s best games and a Game of the Year nomination. - Universe Tie‑in:
The game shares its universe with the horror series Alan Wake, a connection Remedy has confirmed over time. - Platform Expansion:
The studio previously extended Control to newer consoles and macOS; mobile had remained out of sight until now.
Pioneers on iOS
- Capcom – several Resident Evil titles
- Ubisoft – Assassin’s Creed Mirage
- Kojima Productions – Death Stranding
These releases demonstrate that complex titles can be adapted for handheld use, encouraging Remedy’s entry into the space.
The Switch Gap
While Control can be streamed on Nintendo’s handhelds, a fully native version is still pending.
The iOS launch may boost confidence that a native build could follow for Switch fans.
Future Mobile Possibilities
- Alan Wake – slower pacing could suit smaller screens.
- Alan Wake 2 (2023) – critical success suggests a fresh mobile experience.
Remedy’s upcoming project, Control Resonant, will shift focus to melee combat and follow Jesse Faden’s brother.
Released in 2026, the title might also see mobile options in the future.
Bottom Line
PC and console players now have an additional platform to enjoy Control, while mobile gamers gain access to a celebrated AAA experience. Keep an eye on Remedy for further mobile releases and the long‑awaited Switch version.
