The CONTROL Resonant system requirements on its Steam store page list minimum PC requirements: Windows 10 or Windows 11 64-bit, an Intel Core i5-8500 or AMD Ryzen 5 3500 CPU, 16 GB of RAM, an NVIDIA GTX 1070, AMD RX 5600 XT, or Intel Arc A580 GPU, and 120 GB of SSD storage. Status as of 2026-09-19: Remedy has not yet published recommended specifications, so any 'recommended' tier shown outside the Steam store should be treated as community guidance rather than an official line.
Operating System
CONTROL Resonant requires a 64-bit Windows installation. The Steam store page lists Windows 10 and Windows 11 as the supported operating systems for the minimum tier. 32-bit Windows is not supported. macOS and Linux are not listed as supported platforms on the Steam store page; players on those platforms should not expect a native client at launch.
CPU
The Steam store page lists the following processors as the minimum tier: Intel Core i5-8500 and AMD Ryzen 5 3500. Both are six-core, six-thread parts from the eighth-generation Intel era and the third-generation AMD Ryzen era, respectively. These are the floor that Remedy has published, not a recommendation. CPUs below this tier may launch the game but are outside the officially supported minimum. Status as of 2026-09-19: Remedy has not yet published a recommended CPU tier.
Memory (RAM)
The minimum RAM requirement is 16 GB. The Steam store listing applies this floor to the minimum tier. The page does not currently break out a separate 'recommended' memory tier, so 16 GB should be treated as both the minimum and the published baseline.
Graphics Card (GPU)
The Steam store page lists three GPUs as acceptable for the minimum tier: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070, AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT, and Intel Arc A580. This is the broadest GPU floor Remedy has published for the title, spanning the three major discrete GPU vendors. Status as of 2026-09-19: Remedy has not yet published a recommended GPU tier.
Storage
The minimum storage requirement is 120 GB on a solid-state drive (SSD). The Steam store page calls out SSD explicitly, which is consistent with Remedy's other recent PC releases that benefit from fast streaming for the shifting Oldest House environment. A 120 GB SSD allocation should be reserved for the install, with additional headroom for save data, optional high-resolution texture packs, and platform updates. Players installing on a hard disk drive (HDD) are outside the published minimum.
