Remedy Entertainment has officially confirmed that Control Ultimate Edition, the enhanced version of its popular action-adventure game, will be launching on Mac on February 12, 2025. The game will be available for Mac models featuring Apple Silicon, such as those with M1 chips or higher.
What's Included in Control Ultimate Edition?
The Ultimate Edition bundles the base game with both expansions — The Foundation and AWE — along with several updates, providing a complete experience for players. This edition first launched in 2020 for other platforms, but this marks its debut on macOS.
Sales Performance and Future Updates
During Remedy’s Capital Markets Day 2024 presentation, the studio shared that Control had sold over 4.5 million unitsacross all supported platforms. Remedy also hinted at a small update for Control in early 2025, promising a few enhancements for players.
Furthermore, Remedy gave fans a glimpse into the future, revealing that Control 2 would feature RPG elements, though further details on its development and release timeline remain under wraps.
Gaming on Mac: A Growing Trend
Apple has been making strides to bring more triple-A games to its Apple Silicon-powered devices (M1, M1 Pro, M1 Max, M2), with several major titles making their way to macOS. In addition to Control Ultimate Edition, games like Death Stranding: Director’s Cut, Assassin’s Creed Mirage, and the Resident Evil series have all arrived on Mac.
Other exciting releases include Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition, which is also set to launch on Mac in early 2025, and Resident Evil 2 Remake, which will be available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac in December 2024.
As Apple continues to push for more gaming options, these releases are part of a broader strategy to make macOS a more attractive platform for gamers.
