'Control Ultimate Edition' Coming to Mac on February 12, 2025

Remedy Entertainment has announced that Control Ultimate Edition will launch on Mac on February 12, 2025. The award-winning action-adventure game has garnered over 80 industry accolades since its 2019 debut, and two expansions in the intervening years have kept the franchise alive.

The Ultimate Edition includes the base game alongside its two major expansions, "The Foundation" and "AWE," plus all post-launch updates. Inspired by the new weird literary genre, the supernatural third-person action game puts players in the role of Jesse Faden as she explores the mysterious Federal Bureau of Control, wielding telekinetic powers and transforming weapons.

Remedy's announcement was spotted by Engadget during the company's Capital Markets Day presentation to investors. While specific Mac system requirements haven't been revealed, the game will presumably require an M-series chip to run effectively, given its demanding graphics and physics engine.


The developer also confirmed that work continues on Control 2, though no further details about the sequel were shared. Control Ultimate Edition previously launched on Windows PC, PlayStation, and Xbox platforms, so this will be its first appearance on macOS.

At least it's a good game, and maybe devs are starting with low hanging fruits to see what sticks on the Mac.
Some studios are specialized in just converting games from a platform to another and that's a perfect place to start IMO. If they deploy too much effort and don't get their money back, it's going to be a problem.

The main problem is... if you wanted this game, you've already had 5 years to buy it. So you probably have it already. It's not like it's just a few months late.

It’s still a great game. It doesn’t really matter when games came out. Play the good ones. We don’t only need to play the newest games, just like we don’t only need to read the newest books or watch the newest movies. Multiplayer games might be different because interest in them typically wanes over time, but this isn't one of those.

Same. I've literally not once heard about it.
It was a bigger deal on the PC side than console because of DLSS and Ray Tracing (one of the first games to implement both at the time).
