Control Skates on Modest PCs – 60 FPS and High‑End Extras
Control Resonant arrives on PC with surprisingly low hardware demands, yet it still promises smooth 60 frames per second. The game uses Remedy’s Northlight engine—the same tech behind Alan Wake 2—but pushes for higher frame rates because of its fast‑paced action.
System Requirements
| Specification | Minimum | Recommended |
|---|---|---|
| CPU | Intel i5‑8500 | Intel i5‑8500 |
| GPU | RTX 3070 / AMD 6700 XT | RTX 3070 / AMD 6700 XT |
| RAM | 16 GB | 16 GB |
| Storage | 60 GB SSD | 60 GB SSD |
The lowest CPU requirement jumps from an Intel i5‑7600K to an i5‑8500, and the recommended GPU moves from an RTX 3060 or Radeon RX 6600 XT to an RTX 3070 or AMD 6700 XT. These changes reflect the three‑year gap between titles and the need for better performance.
Visual Fidelity
Despite the modest baseline, PC players can still enjoy cutting‑edge visuals. The game supports:
- NVIDIA DLSS 4.5
- Path tracing
Those with RTX 50‑series cards can experience the highest quality rendering, showcasing Remedy’s balance between accessibility and premium features.
Release Context
Control Resonant’s release falls in a crowded September 2026 lineup, alongside several other big‑budget games. The challenge will be to stand out without compromising performance or visual fidelity.
Future Updates
The developers plan to reveal more details about graphics settings and resolution closer to launch, allowing players to fine‑tune the experience once more information is available.
