Control, Remedy Entertainment's latest game released last week on PC and console, is getting some major improvements soon, especially on consoles.

In a new blog post, the developer confirmed that they are currently working hard on improving optimization for the console version of the game. This is good news, as Control doesn't run too well on base Xbox One and PlayStation 4.

GENERAL IMPROVEMENTS
Right now, the team are looking at possible ways of improving console optimization in Control, but as you can hopefully understand, these things do take time and don’t happen at the press of a button (as much as we wish they did). We are also examining specific issues that some players have been experiencing and looking for fixes on those. When we have more info, we will be sure to let you know across our community channels.

Remedy is also working on improving the Control experience on all formats with some tweaks and fixes. Soon enough, a new update will introduce the ability to turn off motion blur and film grain. The in-game map is also getting fixed.

MOTION BLUR
Some good news – As part of our next update (tentatively mid to late September) we’ll be providing players with an ON/OFF toggle for Motion Blur and Film Grain. This will come to all platforms.

MAP
We hear you and we’re addressing the issues reported! Our developers are working to improve how the in-game map loads to ensure that all the relevant info displays immediately and correctly, as it should. We’ll provide more info on this very soon.

Control is now available on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in all regions.
