505 Games and Remedy Entertainment first announced Control for PC via Steam, and later at GDC 2019 the pair over the game in question opted for a one-year Epic Games Store exclusive deal. Well, the third-person shooter that will also hit PS4 and Xbox One has its PC specs up and out in the wild.
That’s right, the game that yours truly isn’t going to touch will be heading to the Epic Games Store on August 27th, 2019, and has its official PC requirements listed for the controversial storefront.
Everything from the operating system (OS), processor, graphics card or GPU, RAM, and other additional features are on Control’s Epic Games Store page.
Without wasting any time, you can check out the minimum PC requirements for Control right here:

Last time we reported on Control, Mikael Kasurinen and Brooke Maggs — director and narrative designer — noted that it could take players 15-20 hours to beat the campaign. However, it’s worth mentioning that that example of the title’s length includes doing “a few side missions.” since the game is supposedly designed like a Metroidvania.
Something worth noting is the two devs do not make mention of player skill and whether or not players with talent opposite of Dean Takahashi will be able to finish faster or not.
Anyway, Control will hit PC via the Epic Games Store, PS4, and Xbox One late this August, while Steam users will gain access to the game next year.
