CONTROL Resonant has sold over 1 million copies, Remedy announced on October 16, three weeks after its September 24 launch. It is the fastest a Remedy game has hit that mark. The sequel stars Dylan Faden and swaps the transforming gun for the transforming melee weapon Aberrant. Steam reviews sit at roughly 12,000 with 91 percent positive, and the PlayStation Store rating is 4.76 out of 5 from about 9,400 ratings.
Steam concurrent players crossed 30,000 right after the September 24 launch and kept climbing through the following weekend to a peak of about 43,000, according to SteamDB. Reviews and the PlayStation Store rating both landed high, with 91 percent of roughly 12,000 Steam reviews positive and a 4.76 out of 5 average across about 9,400 ratings.
In the announcement, CEO Jean-Charles Gaudechon said, "We have always believed that 'CONTROL' deserves to be played by more players." The studio says it will keep growing CONTROL and Alan Wake.
