Remedy’s award-winning action-adventure game Control is making a return to Xbox Game Pass, but this time it will be the Ultimate Edition that subscribers get to enjoy. The game first launched in August 2019, and within a few months of release, its developer reiterated that Control would not be coming to Xbox Game Pass.

Control Ultimate Edition offers primarily graphical upgrades, with 4K upscaling from 1440p on Xbox Series X and the ability to choose between ray tracing at 30FPS or no ray tracing at 60FPS. On Xbox Series S, the graphics are upscaled to 1080p and the game runs at 60FPS but offers no ray tracing.

Both of these expansions occur after the events of the main game, with The Foundation taking protagonist Jesse Faden to a location far below the Oldest House. AWE introduces Jesse to the Investigations Sector of the Oldest House, where she explores various Altered World Events. This
