Remedy Entertainment’s Control might look like a visual powerhouse of advanced rendering techniques, but it’s PC spec requirements are remarkably relaxed.
Building off the visual style of Remedy’s Xbox exclusive title Quantum Break, it would appear that certain engine optimisations have occurred over the past few years. In fact, Control’s PC requirements are near identical for it’s minimum requirements.

Of course, those who want to experience the game’s impressive Ray Tracing technology will have to own an RTX capable card. The game’s spec requirements are below:
