Control Update 1.000.005 for Version 1.30 Finally Makes Its Way to Consoles; Adds Hideo Kojima Mission, New “Unlock Frame Rate” Setting
While the PC version of Control received the version 1.30 patch months ago, console gamers (PS5, Xbox Series) are finally getting it today, October 6! Players will see this as Control update 1.000.005, and this adds a slew of new content and graphical improvements.
Chief among the additions is Dr. Yoshimi Tokui’s Guided Imagery Experience, which features a voiceover by the legendary Hideo Kojima!
The file size on PS5 is at a manageable 630 MB, and this update download also adds new outfits that were previously locked as pre-order bonuses, as well as graphical improvements on all console versions.
For the complete patch notes, head on below.

• Improved Temporal Anti-Aliasing (TAA) quality
• Added HDR support
• Updated SDR to 10bit (from 8bit), which reduces visible color banding

Unless something breaks with this patch, don’t expect another update for Control, as Remedy is super busy developing the sequel, Alan Wake 3 and Max Payne 1&2 Remake. Speaking of which, the games’ release windows have been revealed, but this doesn’t account for delays, which is normal for video games.
If Remedy releases another patch, expect it here on MP1st.
The latest game from Remedy is FBC: Firebreak, which recently received its major update “Breakpoint” last week.
