Worldwide digital
September 24, 2026
CONTROL Resonant launches worldwide digitally on September 24, 2026, after a Game Awards reveal in December 2025 and a dated Steam pre-order post on 2 June 2026. Steam pre-load starts 24 hours earlier from 7 AM PT. The game was announced at The Game Awards on 12 December 2025, then dated and opened for Steam pre-orders on 2 June 2026. Remedy lists PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and Epic on launch day, with Mac later in 2026. Steam lists fifteen interface languages. Hit the pre-load window, then the digital day — local storefront clocks were not invented here.
Community post CONTROL Resonant is coming in 2026! names the sequel, Dylan Faden as playable lead, warped Manhattan, and the FBC deploying their former captive.
Steam pre-orders open. The post states Dylan is the only playable character and points to a new story trailer. Remedy's article the same day lists worldwide platforms.
Steam pre-load starts 24 hours before launch from 7 AM PT, as posted in Steam Pre-Load Starts Tomorrow.
Digital launch on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store. Mac via Steam and the App Store follows later in 2026.
Pre-load at 7 AM PT, launch the next day
Two first-party posts set the clock: Global Launch Times and Steam Pre-Load Starts Tomorrow. Together they fix worldwide digital launch on September 24, 2026 and Steam pre-load 24 hours earlier from 7 AM PT. That Pacific timestamp is the only hour Remedy printed. Other time zones are arithmetic you can do; they are not extra official rows.
Physical disc delay rumors from third parties are not on this timeline. Digital is the published event. Deluxe's 48-hour PS5 early access from Japanese press sits in front of September 24 for that SKU only. Wishlist news thanked players for over 2 million wishlists across platforms — a marketing fact, not a login queue size.
Fifteen launch languages
Steam lists English, French, Italian, German, Spanish-Spain, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese-Brazil, Simplified Chinese, Spanish-Latin America, Traditional Chinese, Polish, Russian, Turkish, and Ukrainian, with full audio on a subset that includes English and Japanese. A first-party news post titled CONTROL Resonant launch languages revealed! published the same list with a graphic.
Local store titles are not all translations of the English short name. Steam Japanese and PlayStation ja-jp list CONTROL Resonant（コントロール レゾナント）. Steam Korean lists CONTROL Resonant (컨트롤：레조넌트). Simplified and Traditional Chinese list 控制: 共振. Thai, Vietnamese, and Indonesian Steam pages keep the English title. Use the local official name when you search, not a fan transliteration.
Full audio is listed for a subset that includes English and Japanese. Interface-only languages still get menus and subtitles. The launch-languages news graphic is the first-party list; Steam's appdetails language array matches it. If a storefront later adds a sixteenth language, that is a patch-day fact, not a row on the December 2025 announcement. PlayStation and Xbox storefronts keep the English title in en-US listings and add the Japanese long title on ja-jp pages, matching Steam's local names rather than adding fan spellings.
What actually ships on September 24
Remedy's article lists PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store on the digital day. Steam app 3669870 is the Windows SKU with SSD required. PlayStation concept 10017682 and Xbox product 9p092299fsgw are the console storefront IDs. GeForce NOW is named for launch-day cloud play. Mac via Steam and the App Store follows later in 2026, not on this date.
Pre-load is Steam-only in the published notes: 24 hours before launch from 7 AM PT. Console download windows were not given as a second Pacific hour. Deluxe's 48-hour PS5 early access from Japanese press sits in front of September 24 for that SKU. Wishlist news thanked players for over 2 million wishlists across platforms, which is a marketing count, not a login queue size.
The announcement trailer, Launch Trailer, and official music video on this route are Remedy YouTube files tied to those dates. Steam still showed coming soon in the store payload while already printing September 24. Use Editions for $59.99 / $69.99 packages and PC specs for the GTX 1070-class minimum if the remaining question is hardware rather than the clock.
