Control Ultimate Edition Arrives on iPhone and iPad

Get ready for some mind-bending action, mobile gamers! Control: Ultimate Edition, a title that has captivated players on PC and consoles, has officially landed on the iPhone and iPad. For just $5, you can now dive into the surreal world of Jesse Faden and the Federal Bureau of Control, battling paranormal threats with telekinetic powers and a shape-shifting Service Weapon.

This isn't just a watered-down mobile version; developer Remedy Entertainment has confirmed that this is the complete Control experience, including all the downloadable content. The UI and controls have been meticulously rebuilt to offer a seamless experience on touchscreens, with adjustments made to aiming and puzzle-solving to better suit mobile play. Of course, if you prefer a more traditional setup, the game also fully supports controllers.

For those wondering about compatibility, you'll need an iPhone with at least an A17 Pro chip (think iPhone 15 Pro and newer) or an iPad with an M-series chip or the A17 Pro. This means most recent iPads, including the latest iPad Air and Pro models, should handle it with ease, though the standard iPad with an A16 processor is sadly out of luck.

The arrival of Control on iOS marks another significant step in Apple's strategy to bring high-profile, graphically demanding games to its platforms. Following in the footsteps of titles like Resident Evil, Death Stranding, and Assassin's Creed Mirage, Control further solidifies the iPhone and iPad as capable gaming devices. While they might not replace dedicated gaming consoles for hardcore enthusiasts, these ports offer a fantastic way for Apple users to enjoy AAA experiences on the go.
