Sales Milestone Achieved
Control Resonant has sold one million copies, becoming Remedy’s fastest-selling game despite leakers cracking the title and pirating it after its digital launch in September.
Remedy celebrated this milestone on October 15, expressing gratitude for the community's support.
Remedy’s communications director Thomas Puha also commented on this achievement, calling it a 'strong start'.

Control Resonant has surpassed Alan Wake 2 as the studio’s fastest-selling title. While Alan Wake 2 took two months to reach one million copies, Control Resonant achieved this figure in just three weeks.
Impact of Piracy and Physical Release
This success is welcome news for Remedy, especially after the game faced piracy following its digital launch in late September. The initial piracy did not appear to be a crippling setback, and with physical editions now released, further profit is expected.
Critical Reception
Control Resonant received critical acclaim from both reviewers and players. Critics noted it as a great addition to the Remedyverse, praising its inventive world-building and the humanization that grounds its paranatural intrigue.
The game's quality even led some internet users who typically pirate games to decide against it, choosing instead to support Remedy in hopes of contributing to the studio's longevity.
"One of the very few games I'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," wrote one fan on a piracy subreddit.
"I wasn't planning to buy it but now I feel like I should," another said. "I like Remedy. They do good games."
Remedy's Legacy and Future
Remedy is renowned for titles such as the original Control, Alan Wake 2, Max Payne, and Quantum Break. Despite concerns that their offerings might not appeal to a mass audience, these latest sales figures suggest the developer is thriving.
