New Game++ Is Now Available in CONTROL Resonant<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With Update 1.40, players can now complete an unlimited number of CONTROL Resonant runs through New Game++<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Previously, New Game+ only allowed players to replay the game once while carrying over their progression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remedy has also adjusted New Game+ progression, making rewards more generous so players can max out every Zone more easily during subsequent runs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Major Quality-of-Life Improvements<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Update 1.40 introduces several changes designed to make progression and exploration easier to understand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Build Power number is now displayed directly on the Loadout screen<\/strong>, making it much easier to determine Dylan’s current power level without navigating through the Stats & Effects menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The HUD now displays a notification whenever new upgrades or purchases are available in The Gap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Players can also pin materials required for upgrades. If those materials are currently available from a Vendor, this will now be indicated directly through the Vendor icon on the map.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remedy has additionally fixed numerous map markers that previously remained visible for too long, appeared in incorrect locations or failed to disappear properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unknown Zone Has Less Combat<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One potentially significant gameplay adjustment affects the Unknown Zone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remedy has reduced the overall amount and intensity of combat in the Unknown Zone by approximately 10\u201315%<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Several other balancing changes have been introduced, including easier SH\u00dcM Challenge scores, adjustments to miniboss and heavy enemy reactions to Push, and improvements to several Gravity Anomalies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A new Assist Mode option has also been added for Power Core Charge Duration<\/strong>, allowing players to apply a 100\u2013300% duration multiplier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PC Performance and HDR Improvements<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Update 1.40 includes several performance optimizations primarily targeting PCs running around the game’s minimum and recommended specifications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crash fixes have also been deployed across all platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remedy has addressed over-saturated HDR highlights when using the AgX tonemapper as well as aggressive artifacts and pixelation that were particularly noticeable with HDR enabled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DLSS Frame Generation has received improvements, including support for using V-Sync together with DLSS Frame Generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AMD has also released new optional drivers designed to improve CONTROL Resonant performance and address several crashes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Audio Options and Copyrighted Music Toggle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Players now have a separate volume slider for radio dialogue, providing more control over the audio balance between speakers or headphones and the DualSense controller speaker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Content creators also get a particularly useful addition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A new \u201cMute copyrighted music\u201d<\/strong> option can disable Apocalyptica’s Upperhand<\/em>, which plays during the game’s intro credits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The update additionally addresses an issue that could cause audio to desynchronize throughout the game, alongside numerous dialogue, music and sound-effect fixes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CONTROL Resonant Update 1.40 Fixes Numerous Quests<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Remedy has addressed problems affecting several quests and encounters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among them is a fix for Into the Sinkhole<\/strong>, where enemies could become stuck or fall out of Gravity Anomalies during the miniboss encounter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other fixes target quests including Enemy of My Enemy<\/em>, The Last Taxi<\/em>, Carbon Copy<\/em>, New Growth<\/em>, Recursions and Iterations<\/em>, A New Directive<\/em> i The Complete Set<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PlayStation<\/a> 5 Activities have also been fixed in several cases where they could trigger at incorrect times or fail to end properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Update 1.40 additionally contains improvements across animations, lighting, subtitles, localization, cinematics, UI, combat and visual effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
