Remedy's Control Ultimate Edition Brings Supernatural Action to iPhone, iPad, and Vision Pro in 2026

Remedy Entertainment has announced that Control: Ultimate Edition will launch on iPhone, iPad, and Apple Vision Pro in early 2026, expanding the critically acclaimed supernatural action-adventure game to Apple’s mobile and mixed reality platforms[3]. The announcement marks a significant expansion for the 2019 title, which has already found success across multiple gaming platforms.

Players will have the flexibility to experience the game either through traditional game controllers or by using touch controls, with the Vision Pro version presumably supporting hand tracking and gesture controls[3]. The move comes after Remedy successfully brought the game to Mac computers in February 2025, demonstrating the developer’s commitment to the Apple ecosystem[3].

About Control Ultimate Edition

Control follows Jesse Faden, the newly appointed director of the Federal Bureau of Control (FBC), a clandestine U.S. government agency responsible for studying and containing paranormal phenomena[3]. The game unfolds within the Oldest House, the FBC’s headquarters, where players must combat the Hiss, a supernatural force that has invaded and corrupted the building.

Originally released in August 2019 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Windows, Control has since expanded to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and cloud-based platforms[7]. The Ultimate Edition represents the definitive version of the game, bundling the base experience with two major expansions: Foundation and AWE (Altered World Events)[3]. The AWE expansion is particularly notable as it serves as a crossover between Control and Remedy’s earlier title, Alan Wake[3].

What to Expect

While Remedy hasn’t announced specific device requirements, industry observers expect the game will likely target Apple’s latest hardware. Given that Control’s Ultimate Edition features ray tracing support as a hallmark feature on consoles, the iOS version will probably require devices with Apple’s M-series chips for iPads and Pro-level processors for iPhones[1][5].

The current Mac version of Control: Ultimate Edition is priced at $40 on the Apple Store, though Remedy has not yet confirmed pricing for the mobile and Vision Pro versions[3]. No specific release date has been announced beyond the early 2026 window.

This port represents an interesting development in the mobile gaming landscape, particularly as there has been ongoing debate about whether high-end console games can find commercial success on iPhone and iPad platforms[5]. Despite being a six-year-old title with a sequel currently in development, Remedy’s decision to invest in Apple platform ports suggests confidence in the market opportunity.
