CONTROL Resonant Patch Notes: Every Update From Day One to 1.4.0

What is the latest CONTROL Resonant patch?

Update 1.4.0, out October 1, 2026 — the biggest patch since launch. Per VICE’s patch notes coverage and Remedy’s own announcement, it adds New Game++ (“an infinite number” of replays, per PSU), plus combat adjustments, performance fixes and a thick stack of quality-of-life changes.

Day-one patch

The launch-day hotfix’s practical change players felt most: Reset Items became easier to get (per Polygon’s prologue guide) — the items that undo your weapon, ability and talent choices went from scarce to obtainable, which mattered immediately for anyone second-guessing the prologue’s three picks (see best weapons).

Hotfix 1.3.3 — the combat friction patch

Aimed squarely at difficulty feel, per Remedy’s support page (PS5 build 01.300.300) and the r/controlgame patch-notes thread:

• Enemy base health reduced
• Falter (stun) requirements reduced — the execution loop covered in the combat guide triggers faster
• Dylan’s combat strength increased

Remedy’s framing: the changes “make the combat more dynamic, retain the challenge, but reduce the friction” of upgrading. In practice, the best talents that feed the execution-Dominance loop got a tailwind.

Update 1.4.0 — New Game++ and the big QoL pass

The October 1 update, per VICE and IGN’s wiki mirror of the patch notes:

• New Game++ — the headline feature, enabling repeat cycles beyond a first New Game Plus run; the same update also reduced combat in the Unknown Zone
• Combat adjustments and rebalancing across the board
• Performance fixes — including over-saturated HDR highlights in the AgX tonemapper
• Improved player interactions with sliding and parkour across a range of objects
• Dozens of QoL improvements, UI updates and bug fixes — Remedy’s own post called it “a big one” with “many, many” fixes

Forbes’ Paul Tassi noted the flip side: the patch still missed a much-needed addition he’d been looking for — worth reading before assuming your specific pet fix landed.

Where to track future patches

Three sources, in order of authority:

• Remedy’s support pages (remedy.helpshift.com) — official patch notes per update
• SteamDB — the full version history for the Steam build, including silent hotfixes
• IGN’s wiki — mirrored patch notes with community annotations

This page updates with each patch as it lands. For how the patch cycle affects a purchase decision, the state of the game at review time is on the review hub; for what’s still officially on the roadmap, Remedy’s launch and post-launch timeline page has the dates.
