The State of Play trailer finishes and the room goes quiet. You blink at the pre-order button and the September 24, 2026 release date, and something tightens in your chest. My finger hovers over the mouse, pulse spiking like a locked briefcase.
I follow Remedy’s launches the way some people track stock tickers — obsessively and with a folder of receipts. I’ll walk you through what each edition actually gives you, where the value lands, and which pre-order perks are worth fighting for. Read fast or you’ll miss the PlayStation-only windows; I want you to buy with confidence, not regret.
Storefronts are already filling with listings — All Control Resonant Editions and Prices
You’ve got three straightforward options: Standard, Digital Deluxe, and Steelbook. Each one targets a different kind of buyer — the pure player, the content pack rat, and the collector who wants something physical to hold. I’ll keep this short: prices are in USD with a rounded euro equivalent so you can compare at a glance.
| Content | Standard Edition ($59.99 / €55) |
Digital Deluxe Edition ($69.99 / €64) |
Steelbook Edition ($69.99 / €64) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Main Game | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| AWE Mission Outfit | No | Yes | No |
| 48-hour Early Access (PS5 Exclusive) | No | Yes | No |
| Digital Artbook | No | Yes | No |
| Original Soundtrack | No | Yes | No |
| Starter Resource Bundle | No | Yes | No |
| Untapped Artifact (Wallet) | No | Yes | No |
| Steelbook | No | No | Yes |
| Fine Art Prints | No | No | Yes |
| Key Art Poster | No | No | Yes |
The Standard edition is the lean option: you get the game and nothing extra. The Digital Deluxe is the one I’d recommend if you want extras that matter — an Expansion Pass (saves you money on post-launch content), an artbook, soundtrack, and a handful of digital goodies. The Steelbook mirrors Deluxe pricing but trades the digital swag for physical presentation, which sits on the shelf like a museum placard.
The pre-order list already shows a handful of freebies — Control Resonant Pre-Order Bonuses
Pre-orders come with a few in-game perks intended to sweeten the first-wave purchases. If you’re the kind of player who cares about cosmetics or a tiny tactical edge in early playthroughs, they add real value. If you’re a completionist who collects every artifact, pay attention to platform exclusives before you buy.
- Hiss Corruption Outfit — aesthetic, but it signals early commitment.
- Pickpocket’s Tool Artifact — a utility item that can change early encounters.
- Occult Outfit — exclusive to PlayStation pre-orders, so PlayStation buyers get a small advantage in rarity.
How much does the Control Resonant Deluxe Edition cost?
The Digital Deluxe Edition is $69.99 (€64). That price includes the Expansion Pass and digital extras: a soundtrack, a digital artbook, the AWE Mission Outfit, a starter resource bundle, and the Untapped Artifact (wallet).
What are the Control Resonant pre-order bonuses?
Pre-order bonuses are the Hiss Corruption Outfit, the Pickpocket’s Tool Artifact, and the PlayStation-exclusive Occult Outfit. These are delivered automatically when you claim the title on Steam, Epic, PlayStation Store, or Microsoft Store, so long as you pre-ordered before release.

Remedy has built a reputation for dense narratives and attention to aesthetic detail — you’re buying into a line that includes Control and Control: AWE. If you want early access and the extra digital goodies, the Deluxe Edition is the practical pick; if you value an item that looks good on the shelf, go Steelbook. If you wait, will you risk missing the PlayStation-exclusive Occult Outfit — and does that matter to you?
