Revision 1

Control Resonant ships in four announced editions: a Standard Edition and a Digital Deluxe Edition sold digitally, and a Physical Edition and a SteelBook Edition sold on disc. Pre-orders opened in June 2026 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Steam and the Epic Games Store, and cover both digital and physical formats. This page breaks down what each tier contains, what the pre-order bonuses are, when they actually unlock, and how the PlayStation early access works. For the wider platform and release picture see Platforms and Release, and for a new player's primer see Getting Started.

The Four Editions

The published contents for the two disc tiers list the main game and, for the SteelBook, its physical extras: a SteelBook case, three fine art prints and a key art poster, as itemised in Remedy's September 17, 2026 press release. No digital bonus items are attached to either.

Pricing

The digital figures are the storefront prices as checked on September 21, 2026; the physical figures come from Remedy's September 17, 2026 press release, which notes that regional pricing may vary. One split is live on September 21: the Digital Deluxe Edition is listed at 59.99 GBP on Steam and in the press release, but at 54.99 GBP on the UK PlayStation Store. Both are current on their own storefronts, so the price to trust is the one on the store you intend to buy from. The Japanese prices are those shown on the Japanese PlayStation Store, and no Japanese prices for the disc tiers have been published.

Pre-Order Bonuses

Two items attach to every digital pre-order, a third comes with PlayStation digital pre-orders only, and the Digital Deluxe tier layers three more on top. Most of them are not available the moment you start the game.

The end of Act 1 condition is not an inference from patch notes or datamining. It is stated on the storefront listings themselves, which name the AWE Mission Outfit, the Untapped Artifact (Wallet) and the Starter Resource Bundle on the Digital Deluxe tier, and the Hiss Corruption Outfit and the Pickpocket's Tool Artifact on the Standard tier, as unlocking at that point rather than at the start of the game. The Occult Outfit is the one pre-order item with no published unlock condition attached, which is a gap rather than a confirmation that it is available immediately.

The Untapped Artifact is described as a wallet, and Artifacts are the equippable trinket layer covered on Artifacts. The outfits are cosmetic: Dylan Faden can swap outfit and hairstyle at any point in the campaign without affecting combat stats.

PlayStation Early Access

The PlayStation 5 Digital Deluxe Edition is the only edition anywhere that carries early access, and the studio has dated it exactly. Early access begins at 14:00 UTC on September 22, 2026 and runs into the global unlock at 14:00 UTC on September 24. That is a 48-hour head start over every other platform and every other tier.

Two details are worth being precise about, because they are easy to blur together. The head start is tied to a digital pre-order of the Digital Deluxe tier on PlayStation, not to a PlayStation pre-order in general: the PlayStation Standard Edition listing does not include it. And it is a separate benefit from the Occult Outfit, which does come with any PlayStation digital pre-order on either tier.

As of September 21, 2026 Remedy has not published a pre-load window for any platform, and no PlayStation 5 download size has been published; the Xbox and Microsoft Store catalogue figures are noted on Platforms and Release. September 22 at 14:00 UTC is the only confirmed pre-launch access point on record. The PlayStation storefront notes that automatic download of a pre-ordered title requires Automatic Login and Auto Sign-In to be enabled on the console.

Physical Editions

Disc copies are on their own schedule. The Physical Edition and the SteelBook Edition both reach retail on October 15, 2026, three weeks after the digital launch, and both are PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S only. There is no physical release on PC or Mac. The October date was first given on August 18, 2026, when Remedy announced that the game had gone gold and moved the physical release to that date, and it was repeated on August 25, 2026 in the announcement that premiered the Altered State trailer and revealed a five-piece apparel capsule collection styled after the Federal Bureau of Control's institutional wardrobe.

Regional Edition Content

One outfit is region-specific. At ChinaJoy 2026 the studio revealed the Robe of the Expert from the Ministry of Immaterial Objectives, a China-exclusive cosmetic whose description presents the Ministry as an official Chinese agency that finds and contains supernatural phenomena to keep public order, an in-fiction counterpart to the Federal Bureau of Control. The same showing carried a trailer with the game's first Chinese dub. As of September 12, 2026 the outfit has not been announced for any other region.

Where to Pre-Order

Pre-orders are open on the PlayStation Store, the Microsoft Store, Steam and the Epic Games Store. On Steam the game carries App ID 3669870, with the Standard and Digital Deluxe tiers sold as separate packages. Both PC storefronts sell the same two digital tiers, and neither carries the PlayStation early access or the Occult Outfit. On the Xbox side the purchase is an Xbox Play Anywhere title, so a single buy covers Xbox Series X|S, Xbox on PC and supported Xbox handhelds, with saves, achievements and add-ons carrying across devices.

On the Microsoft Store the Digital Deluxe Edition is sold as a bundle of the base game plus five separately listed entitlements: the AWE Mission Outfit, the Original Soundtrack and Digital Artbook as one item, the Starter Resource Bundle, the Untapped Artifact (Wallet), and a pre-order bonus pack carrying the Hiss Corruption Outfit and the Pickpocket's Tool Artifact. The catalogue also flags the base game for Xbox cloud saves and achievements.

Unconfirmed Details

Open as of September 21, 2026, three days before the digital launch:

• A pre-load window. None has been published for any platform, on any storefront. No PlayStation 5 or Steam download size has been published either; the Xbox storefront catalogue lists package sizes of roughly 94 GB on Xbox Series X|S and 115 GB for the Microsoft Store PC version, figures that can change with launch updates.

• The unlock condition for the Occult Outfit. Every other pre-order item carries an explicit end of Act 1 disclaimer; this one does not.

• Any post-launch paid content. Remedy describes Resonant as a complete experience at launch and has said it will share future plans at a later date.

• Whether the China-exclusive outfit will be offered in other regions.

• Whether the SteelBook Edition will be stocked outside general retail, and in which territories.

This page will be updated as edition contents, unlock conditions and retail details are confirmed.
