Control Resonant climbs to the top of PlayStation 5 pre‑order charts in the United States, moving past titles such as GTA 6.
Remedy’s Mid‑Year Report Highlights
Remedy’s latest half‑year financial statement, released on 11 August 2026, reports more than 1.5 million wishlists across all platforms. The report notes that pre‑orders opened with healthy momentum and that the title performs favorably against comparable releases.
Global Pre‑Order Momentum
Analytics show the game ranked within the top three pre‑ordered titles on PS5 in the United States, Germany, and Brazil, reflecting strong worldwide demand.
Competition and Context
Control Resonant’s surge is notable as it competes with heavily promoted releases such as GTA 6, which maintains high pre‑order interest, and Marvel’s Wolverine, a less mainstream title that still commands significant attention.
Financial Snapshot and Challenges
While Remedy’s prior hits, including Alan Wake 2 and Control, continued to drive sales—Alan Wake 2 exceeding 3 million copies—financial losses persisted. These losses stem from the previous year’s three‑player cooperative shooter, FBC: Firebreak, which relied more on subscription revenue than direct sales.
Looking Ahead
Encouraged by Control Resonant’s pre‑order performance, Remedy plans to intensify marketing efforts ahead of launch. The studio is also reportedly developing Max Payne 1 and 2 remakes in partnership with Rockstar Games, alongside a new project.
Control Resonant will launch on 24 September 2026 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, positioning Remedy for a vigorous entry into the next quarter.
