What Are The Highlights Of The Console Update For October 2025?

New Control With Console
Above all the changes, the most important are the ones control players experience. Enhanced consoles enable new performance tiers with smoother and responsive play. Refresh enabled consoles share the unlocked controls with variable rates and HDR enabled settings. Console players will experience ultra responsive play with console native features.
Unlocked Frame Rate and High Refresh Rate Support: PS5 and Xbox Series X|S versions now include an “Unlock Frame Rate” option. Both enable VRR and 120Hz with matched displays. Conclusively, gameplay will be less choppy, with lag and screen tearing removed, and more precision in an overarching fast-action conflict.
Enhanced Visual Fidelity: The update adds color and anti-aliasing, color banding and smaller color edges, and less flicker to the visual fidelity of the game. Moving from 8-bit to 10-bit SDR color is like sandpapering the edges of an abstractionist painting, while Temporal Anti-aliasing leaves the painting on display.
Next-Gen Exclusive Features: Owners of the PlayStation 5 Pro now have PSSR (PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution), an advanced upscaling technique that gives smoother edges and visual upwards to hair and vegetation. The Pro model also has advanced inline texture filtering.
New Content For All Players

This mission was previously a PlayStation 4 Digital Deluxe exclusive and is narrated by the renowned game designer, Hideo Kojima. Players can activate this strange mission by collecting a certain item in the Research Sector.
The Legacy and the Remedy’s Future

Control Entertainment shows a strong desire to engage with their players by putting money into a game that was released a number of pony years ago, and this is a strong desire that the studio wants their players to appreciate as it builds the “Connected Universe” that is bound to include the upcoming Control 2 and the remakes of Max Payne 1 and 2.
