Windows specs and DLSS
Final PC System Requirements
Steam lists two CONTROL Resonant PC tiers. Minimum is Windows 10/11 64-bit, Intel i5-8500 or AMD Ryzen 5 3500, 16 GB RAM, GeForce GTX 1070 / Radeon RX 5600 XT / Intel Arc A580, and 120 GB on an SSD. Recommended is Intel Core i7-10700 or AMD Ryzen 7 3700X with GeForce RTX 3060 Ti / Radeon RX 6700 XT / Intel Arc B580, same RAM and storage. Official news adds Final PC System Requirements art plus NVIDIA DLSS 4.5, Ray Reconstruction, and path tracing. Remedy also lists GeForce NOW at launch and a Mac version later in 2026.
| Tier | OS | CPU | RAM | GPU | Storage |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Minimum | Windows 10 / 11 (64 bit) | Intel i5-8500 / AMD Ryzen 5 3500 | 16 GB | Geforce GTX 1070 / Radeon RX 5600 XT / Intel Arc A580 | 120 GB SSD · SSD required |
| Recommended | Windows 10 / 11 (64 bit) | Intel Core i7-10700 / AMD Ryzen 7 3700X | 16 GB | Geforce RTX 3060 Ti / Radeon RX 6700 XT / Intel Arc B580 | 120 GB SSD · SSD required |
How to read the two Steam tiers
Both tiers demand 16 GB RAM, 120 GB, and an SSD. The GPU step is the real gate: GTX 1070-class on minimum, RTX 3060 Ti-class on recommended, with AMD and Intel Arc equivalents printed beside NVIDIA. CPU steps from i5-8500 / Ryzen 5 3500 to i7-10700 / Ryzen 7 3700X. If your machine misses the SSD line, Steam's own requirement list already failed you before DLSS enters the chat. Windows 10 or 11 64-bit is the only desktop OS on those two rows; the Mac build is a later Steam and App Store follow-up, and GeForce NOW is the cloud option Remedy named for launch day if a local card sits under the GTX 1070 line.
The Final PC System Requirements graphic posted with official news shows more presets than those two text tiers. Extra rows were not independently turned into records here, so the table stays at Steam's minimum and recommended. Use the graphic image as the wider picture, and the table as the typed, comparable fields.
DLSS 4.5, path tracing, GeForce NOW
Official news titled CONTROL Resonant Launching With NVIDIA DLSS 4.5 and Path Tracing quotes graphics director Tatu Aalto and lists DLSS 4.5, Ray Reconstruction, and path-traced rendering for PC. That is a GeForce feature stack, not a promise that an Arc A580 will look identical. Watch the NVIDIA feature video for the moving version of that claim.
Remedy's launch article says the game launches with GeForce NOW support and that a Mac version via Steam and the App Store follows later in 2026. Steam's Mac flags were still false when the store was read, so 'later in 2026' is the published window, not a second September 24 SKU. Epic Games Store is a launch PC storefront on the same article. The Epic product page was not captured as JSON here, but Remedy's article still names that storefront.
GeForce NOW now, Mac later
GeForce NOW is the launch-day path if a local GPU sits under GTX 1070 / RX 5600 XT / Arc A580. Remedy printed that support on the same article that dated September 24. It is not a replacement for the Steam minimum row; it is a cloud SKU sitting beside Windows Steam and Epic.
Mac via Steam and the App Store follows later in 2026. That sentence is the whole Mac record. No Mac RAM, GPU, or SSD figures were on the Windows Steam table. Keep the GTX 1070 line on Windows machines; an M-series listing has not been published. Wait for the later listing, and keep the Windows two-tier table for September 24. The PC Gaming Show documentary and the NVIDIA feature video on this route are the moving versions of those PC claims, sitting beside the Final PC System Requirements graphic Remedy posted with Steam news.
