Remedy’s CONTROL is free to own on Epic Games Store

Epic Games is currently giving away for free Remedy’s CONTROL. Until tomorrow, PC gamers can visit its EGS page and acquire their free copy.

CONTROL was one of the best-looking games on PC when it came out in 2019. And even today, the game looks great. Not only that, but its gunplay mechanics are better than those of Alan Wake 2. At least in my opinion. Plus, you can destroy a lot of objects during your fights, something that a lot of players may enjoy.

CONTROL is a third-person action game set in a mysterious, ever-changing world. It mixes the familiar with the strange and unexplainable. Players take on the role of Jesse Faden (played by Courtney Hope), the new Director trying to bring order back to chaos.

The game uses the Northlight Engine and supports both Ray Tracing and DLSS 2.0. Remedy has used real-time ray tracing for reflections, contact shadows, diffuse global illumination, and transparent reflections.

This isn’t the first time that Epic Games has given away CONTROL for free. If you don’t own it yet, though, I highly recommend getting it while you still can.

You can grab your free copy from this link.

From what I know, the game never received official support for DLSS 3. However, it appears that by using Optiscaler, you can enable FSR 3.0 Frame Generation. I haven’t tested it, but this does appear to work. So, I’ve linked a video below that shows how you can make this work.

Here’s hoping that CONTROL 2 will be even better. Remedy is right now working on it. So, I can’t wait to see what they have in store for us.

Have fun!

Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.
