Last Friday, the PlayStation Blog published a post detailing their plans for PAX East, revealing that, for the first time, Control will be available to the public to play.
Described as their "most dynamic booth ever" Sony will be showcasing twenty-seven different games on eighty game stations. Among the list of playable games are Layers of Fear 2, Days Gone, Dragon Quest Builders 2, Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled and more! The booth will also have Playstation VR headsets available for attendees to try out the latest virtual reality launches. Headset reservations will be taken through the PlayStation App (available on iOS and Android).
PAX East: PAX East will be held in Boston (Massachusetts, US) at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center (BCEC). Badges for Friday and Saturday have sold out but there are still some available for Thursday and Sunday. For those heading to PAX East, complimentary shuttles will be running continuously from PAX East to The Castle from 5:30pm to 7:00pm every day. More information on travel can be found on the event website, HERE.
First Control Event Open To Attendees: This past GDC was the first time that Control was available as a playable, with stickers reading "Control was played!" given to those who completed the demo. However, space was limited to content creators with spots reserved in advance by contacting 505Games' Influencer Relations Manager, Nelstar. This will be the first time it will be open and available to play for event attendees.
