With a quiet patch, Control gets HDR support and more than we expected in a graphics update. The game already has modern graphics, but there were a few missing visual features fans eagerly waited for. In fact, the developers didn’t change anything regarding the graphical resources, but the new technologies used are bringing a better experience to some players that are worth experiencing. The update briefly features modern technologies such as DLSS, HDR, and minor improvements. Here are the recent details about the game’s brand-new patch and how it changes the overall game experience.
Control’s New Update Improves The Graphics
Most graphical-obsessed Control players complained about the lack of HDR features at the launch. HDR is supported on nearly all modern AAA games, and it helps to make the colors more attractive. HDR’s arrival in Control’s graphics update is expected to give a better visual experience to gamers, but it may not be enough to justify playing Control again if you already have.
The second big feature is a lifesaver for Nvidia users; DLSS. To explain it briefly, it’s an AI technology that improves performance by producing some of the frames in its own way. That lightens the hardware’s load and helps with delivering higher FPS. The only catch is the compatibility because it’s only available on modern Nvidia RTX graphic cards. Considering the game already requires powerful hardware, the only requirement should be an Nvidia GPU.
Those are the big changes mentioned, however, there are also minor improvements to the RTX feature, which is hard to notice. In conclusion, the best thing we had with today’s patch is the game’s increasing compatibility with mid-level systems. It’s been three years since the game’s release, but the graphics still look shiny. It’s up to you if the changes are worth playing Control again.
