Which Control Resonant Edition Should You Buy? Prices & Pre-Order Bonuses Full Breakdown

Control Resonant received a new Story Trailer at this month’s State of Play, showcasing Dylan Faden’s paranatural fight against the Hiss, which has spread beyond the Oldest House and transformed Manhattan into a warped, nightmarish hellscape. The trailer concluded with a pre-order announcement and the reveal of the game’s various editions. Deciding which one to purchase can get confusing, thanks to the number of editions and platform-exclusive bonuses.

So, here’s a complete breakdown of Control Resonant’s editions, pricing, and pre-order bonuses.

All Control Resonant Editions, Prices & Pre-Order Bonuses Breakdown

Control Resonant launches on September 24, 2026, in four different editions: Standard Edition, Digital Deluxe Edition, Physical Edition, and Steelbook Edition. Both the Standard and the Digital Deluxe Editions will receive the base game and the pre-order bonuses. However, the listings for the Physical Edition and the Steelbook Edition do not include the pre-order bonuses on the game’s official website, only the base game. Now, let’s break down each edition.

The Standard Edition costs $59.99, and it includes the base game, along with the following bonuses:

• Hiss Corruption Outfit
• Occult Outfit (PlayStation exclusive pre-order bonus)
• Pickpocket’s Tool Artifact

The Digital Deluxe Edition costs $69.99, and it includes the base game, all the pre-order bonuses mentioned above, and the following digital items:

• AWE Mission Outfit
• Digital Artbook
• Original Soundtrack
• Starter Resource Bundle
• Untapped Artifact (Wallet)
• 48-Hour Early Access (PlayStation exclusive pre-order bonus)

Now, coming to the physical side of Control Resonant, the Physical Edition costs $59.99 and includes only the base game. On the other hand, the Steelbook Edition is priced at $69.99 and includes the following physical items:

• Steelbook
• Fine Art Prints
• Key Art Poster

These physical versions are now available to pre-order at all major retailers. However, as we mentioned earlier, neither the Physical Edition nor the Steelbook Edition includes the pre-order bonuses in its list of content that players will receive after purchase. We recommend contacting your retailers to confirm whether you’ll receive the pre-order bonuses when purchasing any physical edition of Control Resonant.

It’s also worth noting that selecting the Standard Edition for any platform displays a “Digital Pre-Order required” notice below the content breakdown, suggesting that the pre-order bonuses may be digital-only. So, confirm it with any retailer before purchasing the physical editions. Here’s a quick comparison table between all the editions:

CONTENT	STANDARD EDITION	DIGITAL DELUXE EDITION	PHYSICAL EDITION	STEELBOOK EDITION
Base Game	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes
Pre-Order Bonuses (Occult Outfit PlayStation Exclusive)	Yes	Yes	No	No

Which Control Resonant Edition Should You Purchase?

We now arrive at the age-old question: which Control Resonant edition should you buy? The decision ultimately boils down to your preferences. But if you’re not ecstatic about in-game cosmetics and goodies, then the $59.99 Standard Edition or the Physical Edition should be your picks, although the latter doesn’t seem to include the pre-order bonuses.

However, if you want bonus in-game items and want to play the game 2 days early on PlayStation, then we recommend pre-ordering the Digital Deluxe Edition. It’s the most comprehensive edition available to purchase, complete with all outfits and Artifacts.

On the other hand, if you value physical collectibles over digital bonuses, the Steelbook Edition is undeniably the better choice. It costs the same as the Digital Deluxe Edition at $69.99, but trades off in-game additions for physical goodies. For players wondering whether Control Resonant will have Early Access on other platforms, Thomas Puha, Communications Director at Remedy Entertainment, has confirmed that the 48-hour Early Access is exclusive to PlayStation.

Yes.

Apart from that and the Occult Outfit pre-order bonus, players on all platforms will receive the remaining bonus content, depending on the editions. Regardless of which edition you choose, all players will be able to discover the horrors awaiting Dylan Faden when Control Resonant launches on September 24.
