CONTROL Resonant Pre-Order Bonuses

Official Storefront Breakdown Updated Oct 31, 2026

Players who pre-ordered CONTROL Resonant on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PC (Steam / Epic Games Store), or Nintendo Switch 2 received access to exclusive promotional downloadable content (DLC). These digital pre-order bonuses include cosmetic wardrobe outfits for Dylan Faden, early-game craftable Artifacts, and platform-exclusive bonus items. It is important to note that pre-order bonuses consist of cosmetic and convenience items rather than separate campaign story expansions.

This comprehensive guide details every pre-order bonus item across all platforms, explains where and when to claim your rewards in-game (unlocked at the end of Act 1 in The Gap hub), clarifies the Epic Games Store Fortnite crossover skin, and compares pre-order bonuses against Digital Deluxe Edition items.

Quick Answer: Pre-Order Bonus Summary by Platform

Here is a breakdown of all pre-order items granted based on the storefront and platform where you purchased CONTROL Resonant:

Cross-Platform Standard Digital Pre-Order Bonuses

Regardless of whether you purchased the physical or digital Standard Edition on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, or PC, all pre-orders include two core digital bonus items:

1. Hiss Corruption Outfit

A striking cosmetic wardrobe item for Dylan Faden featuring dark crimson energy lines and corrupted FBC tactical gear. Equipping this outfit alters Dylan’s visual appearance during gameplay and cutscenes without affecting character stats or defense values.

2. Pickpocket’s Tool Artifact

An early-game utility Artifact equipped in your character inventory slot. When equipped, the Pickpocket’s Tool increases Source (crafting currency) dropped by defeated Hiss enemies and shattered environmental containers by 15%. This provides a helpful early boost for crafting tier 1 and tier 2 items in The Gap hub.

PlayStation 5 Exclusive Bonus: The Occult Outfit

Players who pre-ordered CONTROL Resonant specifically through the PlayStation Store received an additional platform-exclusive reward: the Occult Outfit. Inspired by the enigmatic Board and Astral Plane geometry, this sleek obsidian-and-gold outfit features shifting ambient particle effects. PS5 physical launch copies also included a voucher code inside the game case containing both the Occult and Hiss Corruption outfits.

Epic Games Store & Fortnite Crossover Outfit

Promotions on the Epic Games Store featured a cross-promotional incentive for Fortnite players. Purchasing CONTROL Resonant on EGS prior to launch automatically added the Dylan Faden Outfit & Aberrant Pickaxe to the player’s linked Fortnite locker.

How and When to Claim Your Pre-Order Items In-Game

Pre-order items do not spawn in your inventory immediately upon starting a new game. To claim your bonus items, follow these steps:

1. Progress Through Act 1: Play through the opening campaign missions in Downtown Manhattan (Orientation and Welcome to Manhattan).
2. Reach The Gap Hub: After defeating The Artist boss, you will unlock full access to The Gap hub area.
3. Access the Wardrobe Locker: Locate the FBC Supply Locker situated beside Dylan’s living quarters in The Gap. Interact with the locker to claim your Hiss Corruption Outfit, Occult Outfit, and Pickpocket’s Tool Artifact.
4. Equip via Wardrobe Menu: Open your pause inventory, navigate to the Wardrobe tab, and select your desired outfit.

Pre-Order vs. Digital Deluxe Edition Comparison

If you are trying to determine which edition items you own, note that the Digital Deluxe Edition ($79.99) includes permanent additional content beyond pre-order items:

• Deluxe Outfits: Astral Response Outfit and FBC Tactical Response Outfit.
• Digital Extras: Official Digital Artbook and Original Game Soundtrack download.
• Early Access: 48-hour early launch access (PS5 Deluxe buyers only).

Frequently Asked Questions

Can pre-order outfits be unlocked through normal gameplay later?

Currently, the Hiss Corruption and Occult outfits are exclusive to pre-order voucher codes and have not been added to the standard in-game craftable outfit pool.

What should I do if my physical edition pre-order code doesn’t work?

Ensure you are redeeming the code on the correct regional PlayStation Network, Xbox Live, or Steam account corresponding to the game disc region. If errors persist, contact retailer customer support.
