Control hits new sales milestone

Remedy Entertainment is in a bit of an interesting spot, with the studio’s quality-to-sales ratio being off balance. Still, the cream can rise to the top, with Remedy revealing that 2019’s excellent CONTROL has sold over 5 million copies, while amassing over 20 million total players.

As part of the company’s latest fiscal earnings report, Remedy Entertainment revealed that 2019’s excellent 3rd-person metroidvania-esque shooter Control has now officially sold over 5 million copies (1 million of which was pushed in 2025 alone.)

According to the studio, part of the recent rise in sales can be attributed to the announcement of Control Resonant – a sequel set to arrive some time this year.

Outside of sales, the game has also seen a great deal of interest from those subscribed to various services, with Control said to have amassed over 20 million players in total.

Control was a highly unique title which offered fun gameplay, interesting exploration and a mysterious narrative deserving of its 5+ million copies sold. With over 20 million fans of the first entry however, here’s to hoping that Control Resonant manages to resonate with many during its initial launch period.
