According to Thomas Puha, Communications Director at Remedy Entertainment, Control had its most successful month yet in November. Sales likely spiked after the recent release of Control: Ultimate Edition, which bundles the base game, both of Control’s expansions like theAWE expansion, and a free next-gen upgrade forXbox Series X,Xbox Series S, andPS5set for release sometime in 2021. Control also recently released on the Nintendo Switch, opening the game up to another group of potential players.
Additionally, Control has passed over 2 million copies sold, an impressive number that will hopefully continue to rise.
Control recently joined Xbox Game PassforXbox Game Passon consoles as well asXbox Cloud Gaming (Project xCloud). If you haven’t given Control a try yet, that’s a fantastic way to jump into the base game before deciding if the more premium Ultimate Edition is worth the investment. Control is certainly a visual showcase, though, so make sure you’re set up with one of theBest 4K TVs for Xbox Series X|S.
