You Can Now Play a 2019 GOTY Nominee on Your Phone

Control stands as one of the most enigmatic and gripping gaming experiences ever crafted. In a surprise move, Remedy Entertainment has launched Control Ultimate Edition on the Apple App Store, bringing this supernatural masterpiece to iPhone and iPad users.

According to an official announcement from the studio, this iteration has been meticulously re-engineered for mobile hardware. The team introduced intuitive touch controls and a refined interface, ensuring that the game’s striking visuals and intense gameplay loop remain perfectly preserved for smaller displays.

Originally released in 2019, Control immerses players in the journey of Jesse Faden, who traverses the mysterious “Oldest House”—the labyrinthine headquarters of the Federal Bureau of Control. As Jesse searches for her lost brother, she must navigate this shifting, brutalist facility, utilizing telekinetic powers and a versatile, reality-bending firearm to push back against a malevolent, otherworldly force.

The title is widely celebrated for its thick atmosphere and stunning art direction. While the Ultimate Edition has faced scrutiny in the past regarding potential performance hiccups linked to ray tracing, it remains to be seen how the title performs on current-gen Apple hardware. Regardless, it is a technical marvel to see such a demanding title running on mobile devices.

Control Ultimate Edition is available now across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Windows PC, Nintendo Switch, Mac, and now, mobile via the Apple App Store.
