Control Resonant ships in four editions across digital and physical: Standard ($59.99), Digital Deluxe ($69.99), a physical Standard disc ($59.99), and the Amazon-exclusive SteelBook ($69.99). Two editions, a $10 gap, and one platform-exclusive perk — the 48-hour early access, which comes only with the PS5 Digital Deluxe.

This page is the complete edition comparison: what's inside each version, what the $10 gets you, and which one to buy for your platform. All prices and contents verified against the PlayStation Store, Steam, Epic, and Remedy's official breakdown (updated August 27, 2026).

Editions at a Glance

| Edition | Price | Format | Release | Early access | |---|---|---|---|---| | Standard | $59.99 | Digital | September 24 | ❌ | | Digital Deluxe | $69.99 | Digital | September 24 (PS5: Sept 22) | ✅ PS5 only | | Standard (Physical) | $59.99 | Disc | October 15 | ❌ | | SteelBook | $69.99 | Disc + extras | October 15 | ❌ |

Every digital edition includes the pre-order bonuses (Hiss Corruption Outfit + Pickpocket's Tool Artifact, plus the Occult Outfit on PS5). Physical editions are not listed with the digital pre-order bonuses — confirm with your retailer if that matters to you.

Standard Edition — $59.99 (Digital)

The base game, available from September 24 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC (Steam & Epic Games Store).

  • The full game — Dylan Faden's warped-Manhattan campaign, ~30 hours main story.
  • Digital pre-orders include the Hiss Corruption Outfit and Pickpocket's Tool Artifact.
  • PS5 Standard does NOT include the 48-hour early access — that's Deluxe-only. PS5 Standard unlocks September 24 like everyone else.

If you just want the game, this is the entry point. There is no "Standard + early access" upgrade path on PS5 — the early window only exists inside the Deluxe.

Digital Deluxe Edition — $69.99 (Digital)

The full game plus five digital extras — and, on PS5, the 48-hour early access (play from September 22):

| Deluxe content | What it is | |---|---| | 48-hour early access | PS5 only — play September 22 instead of 24 | | AWE Mission Outfit | Alternate Dylan outfit, FBC tactical style | | Untapped Artifact (Wallet) | Unique in-game artifact for Dylan | | Starter Resource Bundle | Early-game materials / consumables pack | | Digital artbook | "Warped Manhattan" concept art | | Original soundtrack | ~40 tracks |

The $10 premium on PS5 buys early access plus all the extras — the strongest value case of any edition. On Xbox and PC, the same $10 buys only the cosmetics, artbook, soundtrack, and resource pack — no early access.

Standard (Physical) — $59.99 (Disc)

The disc version for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, delayed to October 15, 2026 alongside the SteelBook.

  • Ships three weeks after the digital launch.
  • Not listed with the digital pre-order bonuses on Remedy's official site.
  • No early access, obviously — discs don't unlock early.

SteelBook Edition — $69.99 (Amazon Exclusive)

The collector's pick: the base game disc in a red-and-black Steelbook case, plus three fine-art prints and a key-art poster. PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, $69.99, exclusive to Amazon, shipping October 15.

  • The $10 over Standard physical buys the Steelbook case, prints, and poster — pure collector value, zero gameplay value.
  • Same caveats as the Standard disc: no early access, digital bonuses not confirmed.

The PS5 Early Access Question

The single most confusing part of Control Resonant's edition lineup — let's settle it:

  • 48-hour early access (September 22) = PS5 Digital Deluxe only.
  • PS5 Standard: no early access, unlocks September 24.
  • Xbox and PC (any edition): no early access, unlock September 24.

If playing two days early matters to you, there is exactly one path: the $69.99 PS5 Digital Deluxe. No other edition, platform, or store grants early play.

Which Edition Should You Buy?

| You are... | Best pick | Why | |---|---|---| | PS5 player who wants to play first | Digital Deluxe ($69.99) | Only edition with the 48-hour early access | | PS5 player, just wants the game | Standard ($59.99) | Unlocks Sept 24; no missable content in Deluxe | | Xbox / PC player who wants extras | Digital Deluxe ($69.99) | Cosmetics + artbook + soundtrack for $10 | | Xbox / PC player, minimal spend | Standard ($59.99) | No early access exists for you anyway | | Collector (any console) | SteelBook ($69.99, Amazon) | Steelbook + prints + poster; ships Oct 15 | | Patient / disc-first player | Standard physical ($59.99) | Disc at the cheapest price; waits until Oct 15 |

FAQ

How many editions of Control Resonant are there?

Four: Standard (digital, $59.99), Digital Deluxe (digital, $69.99), Standard physical disc ($59.99), and the Amazon-exclusive SteelBook Edition ($69.99, PS5/Xbox).

What's the difference between Deluxe and Standard?

The Deluxe ($69.99) adds the AWE Mission Outfit, Untapped Artifact (Wallet), Starter Resource Bundle, digital artbook, and soundtrack — plus the 48-hour early access on PS5 only. The game itself is identical.

Is the SteelBook Edition worth it?

If you collect physical editions, yes — the Steelbook case, three art prints, and key-art poster justify the $10 over the Standard disc. If you just want to play, no: it ships October 15 with no early access, and the digital bonuses aren't confirmed with it.

Does the PS5 Standard edition have early access?

No. The 48-hour early access (September 22) is exclusive to the PS5 Digital Deluxe Edition. PS5 Standard unlocks September 24.

Is there a physical Deluxe edition?

No. The physical lineup is Standard disc and SteelBook only — the Deluxe's extras (AWE Outfit, artbook, etc.) exist only in the digital edition.

Which store is cheapest for the digital editions?

All stores list Standard at $59.99 and Deluxe at $69.99 at launch (regional pricing varies). See the pre-order guide for the store-by-store breakdown and where the PS5 early access is available.

Will the Deluxe extras be sold separately later?

Almost certainly — Remedy has made cosmetic packs and artbooks available separately after launch in the past. If you're patient, you can likely buy the AWE Outfit or soundtrack on their own later.
