Control Ultimate Edition: The PS5 version is amazing, it weighs very little

Control has recently undergone a new graphic restyling on console PlayStation 5 e Xbox Series X with the version Ultimate Edition. The work of Remedy Entertainment in fact, it has shown itself with ameliorative effects such as Ray tracing in real time, the 4K and performance mode which guarantees i 60 FPS to the detriment of resolution; all added to the winning play formula of the original title. In fact, the new interaction, Control Ultimate Edition includes all the visual enhancements we mentioned as well as the game expansions. Also, that updated version will be free for PlayStation 5 owners who will have the PlayStation Plus. However, what is most surprising is that the technical update and additional content of the version for the new console, have not weighed on the amount of space required by the internal memories of Playstation 5, indeed it has significantly reduced!

On the console of the old generation in fact, the base title without Patches and expansions comes to require about 35 gigabytes of memory occupied, while it touches 50 gigabytes with all the improvements and additional contents. A considerable weight that could give some headaches to the players who own the consoles in the basic version of PlayStation 4 e Xbox One. Against intuitively instead, the space occupied by the new version of the Remedy title for Playstation 5, is half that of the previous console. In fact, according to the data found on the PlayStation Store, the indicative weight is around 25 gigabyte. This would be possible thanks to the work di data compression of the new version of the game on next generation consoles.

Despite this, we must specify that the version PC does not seem to benefit from the same system as according to data from Steam, it would be of 42 gigabyte. It is also good to remember that Control Ultimate Edition is not the first title that has seen a similar optimization in the passage of the version from old-gen to next-gen consoles, with previous cases such as Spider-Man: Miles Morales which takes up less space on PS5 than on PS4.
