CONTROL officially announced for iPhone / iPad

In recent years we’ve seen Apple lean more heavily into the video game market, with their greatest push being the release of various major AAA console games ported to iOS. Following the likes of HITMAN; Death Stranding; Resident Evil and more, Remedy’s excellent CONTROL has been announced for iPhone, iPad and even the Apple Vision Pro.

Making the surprise announcement via BlueSky, the team at Remedy wrote: “Apple takes CONTROL! You will soon be able to enter the Oldest House on iPhone, iPad, and Apple Vision Pro alongside Mac. Play with a game controller, or tap into the action with touch controls.”

So far, little else has been revealed regarding the port, with the only other detail announced being that the game is slated to arrive in “Early 2026.”

While CONTROL was originally released for last-gen systems, its heavy emphasis on physics could strain the 8th-gen consoles somewhat, and so it will be interesting to see what the game looks and runs like on the latest iPhones / iPad.

Regarding the Apple Vision Pro, though not officially stated, this port will most likely function the same as the iPhone / iPad versions – except being blown up on a large digital screen as opposed to a full VR port.

We will have to wait and find out, but regardless it is exciting to see more console/PC developers bringing their games over to smartphones.
