For playing, sharing, and being a part of the community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Remedy\u2019s communications director Thomas Puha also commented on this achievement, saying, \u201cThere we go. Strong start.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-theme=\"light\">\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\" lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">There we go. Strong start.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Thomas Puha (@RiotRMD) October 15, 2026<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">This means that Control Resonant has soared past Alan Wake 2, which previously held the record for the studio\u2019s fastest-selling title. The legacy sequel reached one million copies sold two months after its release; Control Resonant has achieved that figure in just three weeks.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">This is welcome news for both Remedy and fans of the game, many of whom urged players against downloading the pirated version of the title when it launched digitally in late September. It seems this wasn\u2019t a crippling setback for the developer, though, given its current financial success \u2014 and physical editions of the game have just now been released, so there\u2019s still more profit to be had.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Control Resonant was met with critical acclaim among both reviewers and players alike. We at IGN scored it an eight out of 10, with reviewer Michael Higham saying, \u201cEven when combat&#8217;s sharp edge eventually dulls, Control Resonant is a great addition to the Remedyverse. While its story follows a more standard framework, its gravitational pull is in the inventive world built around it and the humanization that grounds the paranatural intrigue.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span data-cy=\"slideshow-view-trigger\"><\/p>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-preview\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 slideshow-preview\">\n<h3 class=\"title5 jsx-62124236 jsx-1085005187\" data-cy=\"slideshow-preview-title\">Control Resonant on GeForce NOW<\/h3>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-images-container\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 images-container\"><button type=\"button\" data-cy=\"hero-image\" aria-label=\"Open Slideshow\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 hero-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"presentation\" class=\"progressive-image jsx-2277167929 image aspect-ratio aspect-ratio-16-9 jsx-2605834259 jsx-2338608387 hover-opacity\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/imdbnews.ir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/remedy-boss-reacts-after-control-resonant-sells-1-million-copies-becoming-studios-fastest-selling-game.gif\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">In fact, the game was so good that many internet pirates decided against illegally downloading it, choosing instead to support Remedy in the hopes that its success would help keep the studio alive.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">&#8220;One of the very few games I&#8217;m going to be buying, Remedy are on the brink of bankruptcy, this is their make or break title, I love their games and gotta do what I can to keep them afloat,&#8221; wrote one fan on a piracy subreddit.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">&#8220;I wasn&#8217;t planning to buy it but now I feel like I should,&#8221; another said.  &#8220;I like Remedy. They do good games.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Remedy is known for titles like the original Control game, Alan Wake 2, Max Payne, and Quantum Break. And while their offerings have been met with high praise from players, they aren\u2019t necessarily tailored for mass appeal, leaving some gamers worried about the developer\u2019s future \u2014 but if these latest figures are anything to go by, it seems to be faring just fine.<\/p>\n<section class=\"author-sign-off\" data-cy=\"author-sign-off\"><span class=\"stack jsx-59817748 jsx-1927875859\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"rounded jsx-444076027 jsx-1730475047 profile-thumb jsx-2141281959 aspect-ratio aspect-ratio-1-1\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Virginia Glaze Avatar\" class=\"progressive-image profile-thumb-img jsx-249361588 jsx-2338608387 expand\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/imdbnews.ir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/remedy-boss-reacts-after-control-resonant-sells-1-million-copies-becoming-studios-fastest-selling-game.jpg\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"><\/div>\n<p><span class=\"stack jsx-2509706801 jsx-3630940851\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"interface jsx-1132626198 sign-off-text\">\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><em>Virginia (she\/her) is IGN\u2019s News Editor.
