Control’s Console Update 1.30 Lands October 6, Adds Hideo Kojima Mission and Unlock Frame Rate Setting
PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series players will receive Control update 1.30 on October 6, which will introduce a new mission narrated by Hideo Kojima, unlock pre-order outfits for everyone, and include several graphical upgrades, including an Unlock Frame Rate option.
The PS5 download is about 630 MB. The headline addition is Dr. Yoshimi Tokui’s Guided Imagery Experience, which features a Kojima voiceover and becomes playable after collecting the Dr. Tokui Tapes in the Extrasensory Lab of the Research Sector. That mission was previously exclusive to the PlayStation 4 Digital Deluxe edition.
New wardrobe options that were previously available only through pre-orders are now accessible at the Control Point in the Central Executive Sector. Remedy also pushed graphical updates across both console families, with PS5 Pro-specific features listed in the patch notes below.
