Control Resonant‘s Game Update 1.4.0 is out now, adding New Game++ so you can “play an infinite number of runs,” Remedy announced in its update notes on October 1, 2026. The update also brings a batch of quality-of-life changes and fixes, and makes the Unknown Zone less intense.
Update, October 2, 2026: Remedy released Hotfix 1.4.1 a day later to fix two things 1.4.0 broke. The Park Resonant quest could not be finished because eating the Mold, a required step, had become impossible, and dashing no longer carried its momentum into Elevate. Remedy apologized, saying “some things unfortunately slip.” If you were stuck on The Park Resonant, update and try the step again.
The Highlights
- New Game++: unlimited repeat runs, the feature Remedy promised in September.
- Build Power on the Loadout screen, so you no longer dig through Stats and Effects to check your Power level. Remedy’s advice: if you’re below the enemy level, do side quests and level up.
- A notification icon in the HUD when you have new things to buy or upgrade in The Gap.
- Vendor icons on the map now show whether a vendor stocks the materials you’ve pinned.
- Unknown Zone: overall combat and intensity cut by 10 to 15%.
- A new Assist Mode option for Power Core charge duration, from 100% to 300%.
- A separate radio dialogue volume slider, a “Mute copyrighted music” option for the credits song, and Razer haptics support.
The Fixes
The notes list crash fixes on every platform, PC performance work aimed at the minimum and recommended specs, fixed over-saturated HDR highlights, many map-marker and subtitle fixes, and a fix for audio cutting out on Xbox Series X. Remedy also points AMD players to AMD’s new optional drivers, which it says improve performance and fix several crashes.
