Control system requirements for PC have been revealed

Control is an upcoming action-adventure aiming to become another big hit in the list of Remedy entertainment's next to other games like Alan Wake, Quantum Break and Max Payne series. The story of Jesse Faden as she becomes the director of Federal Bureau of Control (FBC), a secret U.S. government agency in charge of investigating all kind of supernatural phenomena, will discover us a mysterious world where nothing is what it seems to be. Jesse is more than a simple agent too, as she has psychokinetic powers that allow her to perform incredible feats. Using those powers, she will try to find her younger brother Dylan while she tries to defeat the Hiss, a hostile force that is corrupting the agents of the Bureau and attacking its base of operations, the Oldest House.

Control offers us an eerie storyline within an adrenaline-filled experience in a supernatural setting. As you can see in the video the game looks spectacular and depending on the rig you are using it can look even better, because it supports ray-tracing effects. In fact, Remedy Entertainment has just published the system requirements to play the game on PC and they include two different sets of GPU options depending on if you want to use RTX technology or not.
