Control[/url], developed by Remedy Entertainment, <a data-i13n="cpos:2;pos:1" href="
https://controlgame.com/control-march-2025-update-notes-pc/">just got a surprise software update[/url]. The biggest news here is HDR support, which should be a real boon for graphics-minded gamers.</p>
<p>Interestingly, HDR support started as a mod. It was made by a Remedy dev as a passion project and now it’s in the actual game. That’s always nice to hear. There’s a video below with a lot more information as to how this was done.</p>

<p>The update also brings improved DLSS support. The game now integrates with DLSS 3.7. This isn’t <a data-i13n="cpos:3;pos:1" href="

Film grain has been added back to DLSS SR and the devs have enhanced shadow resolution when DLSS is enabled. Otherwise, the update brings a new “Ultra” ray-tracing preset, which the dev promises “more rays per pixel and higher temporal stability.”</p>
<p>There’s ultrawide monitor support for up to 48:9 displays, a new FOV scaling setting for the camera and rendering resolution support beyond 4K. This is very much a graphics-focused update.</p>

<p>The newly-released features do, however, go beyond looks. All outfits that were formerly pre-order or console-specific exclusives will now be available to everyone. Also, all players can now access a mission called Dr. Yoshimi Tokui’s Guided Imagery Experience. This is the one that <a data-i13n="cpos:4;pos:1" href="

<p>Beyond that, there are the usual minor bug fixes, including one for the end game credits. The update is available right now for PC players, with a console version on the way.</p>This article originally appeared on Engadget at
