Quantum Break is a game that kept out some very good graphics for the time where it came out, but the game needed a very powerful PC to be enjoyed to the fullest. Of course, many of the PC players wondered if Control would be as sophisticated as the previous Remedy game. That’s why their developers took the doubt out of us and made sure Control would work better than Quantum Break.
As Thomas Puha de Remedy wrote in Resetera, the performance of the control engine has been greatly optimized. Asked about the performance of the game, Thomas said:
“That was 3 years ago. Much has been optimized since then. You’ll know soon enough.”
Control surprised with its high requirements, which were later lowered by the developers. They assured that the game was “not degraded”, which means that the changes were only for optimization.
