Here are the settings changes for PS5/Pro & Xbox Series S & X

GRAPHICS [PLAYSTATION 5]
• Added a new setting "Unlock Frame Rate", enjoy!
• Added VRR and 120Hz display output support for PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 Pro, and unlocked the frame rate limitations for Quality and Performance Mode setting
• Improved Temporal Anti-Aliasing (TAA) quality
• Added HDR support
• Updated SDR to 10bit (from 8bit), which reduces visible color banding
• [PlayStation 5 Pro] Added PSSR (PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution) support. Using PSSR results in smoother edges, improved hair, and vegetation visual quality.

Remedy are awesome.
Time Cyperpunk 2077 got the same PS5 Pro treatment.

 

[Crispy Gamer]

I thought they was just going to talk about the patch today not release it that's awesome I'll definitely have to test it on the Pro this week

 

[Punished Miku]

I never finished this. Glad I waited I guess.

 

[lh032]

unlock framerate doesnt work for quality mode on ps5 pro? tried it still 30 fps.

 

[adamsapple]

Downloading again, will check out and post impressions from the unlocked Quality mode on Xbox shortly.

GG Remedy.

Works for me odd, maybe TV requirements needed?

 

[SonicVolcano]

Can't wait for the Max Payne remakes. With this engine magical things are bound to happen.

Do you have a 120hz TV and do you have that option ticked in PS5 system settings?

 

[poodaddy]

Question answered.

 

[saintjules]

Does this substantially alter the PC version at all or is it just consoles? I only started this recently, might restart if it's a big improvement.

According to their reddit page, this update was already released on PC. So this is reflecting consoles.

PC got a similar patch back in March.

Thanks guys, I'll edit my post.

Yeah, this is just bringing the console version in line with the PC version. But if I remember the PC version also got some kojima stuff in it? I don't see anything like that mentioned in these patch notes at least.

It's in the Xbox patch notes.

 

[Just_one]

well i never finish one of the dlcs and im finishing up hollow knight...guess i know what i´ll be playing after

 

[adamsapple]

It's in the Xbox patch notes.

I need glasses.

im using a 60hz VA monitor, you need 120hz to unlock frame rate for quality modE?

So this unlocked frame rate is like 40fps mode or something?

 

[adamsapple]

Going by the patch notes, it needs a 120hz display to unlock frame-rate.

Also, unlocked on 60hz would result in a shit ton of tearing or judder. They're probably relying on VRR + low frame-rate compensation from 120hz displays to make it feel playable.

understand, thanks for the explanation!

 

[The Pweep]

Game looks so much better on PS5 Pro now. Thanks Remedy

 

[Markio128]

Oh nice, I'll give it a go.

 

[adamsapple]

Alright, running the game on Series X.

The Unlocked Quality mode seems like it hovers around 40 (or maybe it might even be capped at 40). Feels very smooth, like a very well locked 40fps mode in one of those well-optimized games that have it.

Feels really good playing the game with this kind of smoothness and the expensive RT reflections it shipped with.

 

[PurePlatinum]

This is a phenomenal game...probably the best game Remedy has ever made...but I have no reason to return here. I've already got the platinum, I've done all the DLC. I've played it exhaustively.

Great for new players though. Really hope cyberpunk gets this treatment soon.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

Really cool they're still patching this. Too bad it's a mid game with a man-face main character (who they actually kept as pretty Quantum Break). The cat ears in the screenshot above make it even funnier.

As a classic Remedy fan, this game was a big disappointment for me.

 

[emivita]

Is PSSR available for Performance mode?

 

[Jigsaah]

I know folks make fun of the protag in this game...and probably with good reason, but the game itself is phenomenal.

 

[Radical_3d]

YouTubers are fast nowadays.


Saved you a click: almost 60fps in graphic mode unlocked if you enable PSSR.

 

[TGO]

Using PSSR can slightly impact performance, so if you would rather have the original "look" of Control, you can disable PSSR in the settings

What does this even mean? How would performance effect the "look"
is this them saying PSSR has artifacts and you can disable it.

 

[Mr Hyde]

Please Remedy get this game over on Switch 2

 

[Skifi28]

I believe I've never finished one of the DLCs so it might be a good opportunity to revisit it.

Maybe?
This is how it always should be IMO though. Options are always better.
