CONTROL Resonant on PC needs a modern 64-bit Windows install, 16 GB RAM, and roughly 120 GB of free SSD space. Steam publishes multiple raster and ray-tracing tiers — treat store pages as the source of truth if numbers change at launch.
Baseline (all tiers)
- OS: Windows 10/11 64-bit
- Memory: 16 GB RAM
- Storage: ~120 GB SSD required
Performance tiers (summary)
- Minimum / 1080p30 class: CPU around i5-8500 or Ryzen 5 3500; GPU around GTX 1070, RX 5600 XT, or Arc A580.
- Recommended / 1440p60 class: CPU around i7-10700 or Ryzen 7 3700X; GPU around RTX 3060 Ti, RX 6700 XT, or Arc B580.
- Higher / RT and 4K path-tracing tiers: Steam lists additional GPU rungs up through current-gen cards (including high-end RTX 50-class targets for path tracing).
Exact row-by-row specs can shift; re-check the Steam app page before buying hardware.
Preload tips
PC preload opens ahead of launch (Standard from September 22). Start the download manually in Steam or Epic and leave headroom beyond 120 GB so updates can apply cleanly.
Console modes, GeForce NOW, and Mac timing also appear on control-resonant.com/platforms.
FAQ
Can I install on an HDD?
Steam’s requirement calls for SSD storage. Plan on an SSD for install and play.
Does it use Denuvo?
As of mid-September 2026, the Steam page did not list a third-party DRM disclosure. Re-check the store page near launch — see our release guide for dated notes.
