31st December 2025 Mac Version of Control Ultimate Edition Added to Steam

Back in March, Remedy celebrated the launch of Control Ultimate Edition for Mac. Initially available on the Apple Store, the developers had already put plans in place to bring the adventure to Mac owners on Steam, and handheld Apple products in 2026. 

In time for the holidays, Remedy published the Mac version of Control Ultimate Edition on Steam! If you already have the game on Steam, you will already have access to the Mac edition. If you don't, the adventure is currently -85% off as part of The Winter Sale.

The new version has been "optimized for Apple silicon Macs with support for hardware-accelerated ray tracing on Macs with the latest M4 family of chips."

Along with the base game, Control Ultimate Edition also includes The Foundation and AWE expansion packs. It will also be the most up-to-date version of the title, featuring updates such as Expeditions, photo mode, Assist Mode, and the ability to replay boss fights through the SHÜM arcade machines. The Mac version of the game weighs in at 27.8 GB, and launches with version 1.31, featuring all the newly added pre-order content. 

Official Synopsis: A corruptive presence has invaded the Federal Bureau of Control…Only you have the power to stop it. The world is now your weapon in an epic fight to annihilate an ominous enemy through deep and unpredictable environments. Containment has failed, humanity is at stake. Will you regain control?

Winner of over 80 awards, Control is a visually stunning third-person action-adventure that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Blending open-ended environments with the signature world-building and storytelling of renowned developer, Remedy Entertainment, Control presents an expansive and intensely gratifying gameplay experience.

30th December 2025 CONTROL Resonant Trailer Inspires Fan Art From Incredible Community Artists

Following the reveal of CONTROL Resonant at The Game Awards, the amazingly talented fan artists in the Remedy community have been filling our social media feeds with their gorgeous artwork.

With Resonant, things take a weirder turn, with Dylan Faden called up by The Board to face a new threat and track down his missing sister, FBC Director Jesse Faden. The new adventure brings a different tone, as things have expanded beyond The Oldest House.

We only got a teaser of Dylan's upcoming adventure, but it was plenty to kindle interest and inspiration. Take a look at some of the absolutely stunning artwork below from Andrea C White, langou, Yelenhol, poreyneel, Nova Asker, Moss Baby, Lazare, Venton2025, AriannaVP, Poet, Poly, and Uran. We are in awe! Please tap the tweets below and give the artists a follow!

For this post, we're trialling something a little different, and would love to hear your feedback. We noticed with similar Quantum Break posts that the embeds would often lead to broken links after a short time. Some of the issues may be due to changes in username, an artist moving over to a new platform, or Twitter encountering an issue (and they do like their issues!). With this post, we're testing using screenshots in place of embeds, with each post click working as before and taking you to the original post and creator. This way, if we notice that it's not linking or if an artist moves their portfolio to a different platform, we can redirect fans to where they can support them. We follow all of the artists here, so if they decide to delete their accounts completely, we'll honour that and remove them here.

29th December 2025 Call For European Playtesters To Try Upcoming Remedy Titles

Interested in trying something new in 2026? Remedy has posted a callout on social media for gamers interested in playtesting their upcoming adventures. 

Those selected will be playing early in-development builds, where your feedback will help to shape the overall experience. 

For the playtesting, Remedy has teamed up with firstlook.gg, which is hosting the sign-up form. Signing up doesn't necessarily mean that you're selected; only a small percentage will go ahead to see the builds. And naturally, everything is locked behind an NDA. All submissions must be made by players over the age of eighteen, and you must be based in Europe.

Playtesting will either be done at the Remedy offices in Espoo or remotely using your own equipment. Depending on the playtest, the experience can last from a few hours to the entire day. 

In their policy, Remedy gives extra details on what they collect from players, stating, "the sessions will be recorded (both video and audio of the game and the player). The recordings will only be used for research purpose to help us improve the game and will not be shared outside of Remedy. We may also use eye tracking and/or measure your heart rate as a part of our test(s)!"

You can learn more about the playtesting process HERE. Bear in mind that the article was written back during COVID-19 precautions, and soon after the rollout of their playtesting program. They have since expanded it to remote play and outside of Finland.
