I have similar issues as well on PC but playing with the gamepass version. It seems to be a pretty buggy game from everything I've read on Reddit.
sorry I'm going to with option 3, the gamepass remains base with no next gen upgrade
Yeah, that's what I was (unfortunately) expecting as the patch not really being a current game patch for next gen.
Thanks everyone for your answers!
I hope they patch the PC Gamepass version something fierce because I'm really interested in the game, but I had to uninstall it for now.
Besides options like DLSS not working, there are SERIOUS performance issues, like having to completely disable all the fancy lighting reflection stuff because they turn the game into a slideshow... even though supposedly my PC should be capable of running some of them with good FPS (got a 1060 6GB and an I5 7600k and am only playing on 1080p too). Also there is sound stuttering during some ingame cutscenes. And crashes (one time the game refused to go past the Loading screen after clicking New Game and crashed until I disabled Vsynch <.<).
But the real kicker was my save file data getting deleted. I only made it a bit past the janitor during my first day playing the game, but boy is clicking on Continue Game and the game starting from the beginning soul crushingly demotivating...
I know the game has a good reputation on other plattforms, but boy is the low user ranking on Gamepass justified right now. Remedy dropped the ball hard and Microsoft needs to put some serious pressure on them.
The Witness is coming out in two days, once I've beaten that I'll try playing this game again.

Curious. I thought that a combination of the Steam overlay and save syncing was causing my issues, as disabling both allowed me to play the back half of the game and DLC with zero crashes or progress lost. Outside of those, I don't recall encountering any bugs in the minute to minute gameplay.
Your card does not support Dlss and raytracing acceleration, so its perfectly normal that it turns into a slideshow.
I love the game but it was crappy to force me to buy the game again even though I owned the season pass as well. And I bought it at full price, too.
I got the ultimate edition during the new year's sale just to get the next gen upgrade. I hoped they would throw in a new skin or two or something like that but no. Exactly the same game.
But, ok, I got it anyway and will replay it when the next gen patch hits.

Enjoyed the game but could not finish it because it got too hard for me (maybe about 3/4 in)plus I never despised a map so much in a game...some great action though and gameplay.
Oh thats right,I did play around a bit with this,it helped me with one of the optional Bosses but theres a lot of things you can tweak actually,which is pretty cool,but I played the Gamepass version and kind of forgot about it after a while,I dont feel as bad not finishing a game when its from GP lol...
Used $20 psn card for the ultimate edition upgrades next week, instead of playing it on gamepass. Hope it's worth it lol
Before Cyberpunk 2077, it was the RT game.
Digital Foundry's entire video is worth a watch, but I've timestamped a representative "all RT settings on/off" segment below if you don't have the half hour to spare:
It's really impressive. I can only pull off reflections with DLSS and my 2060 Ultra, but it looks damn nice.
I turned it off because I found those reflections distracting, lol.
I was near the end of the game I believe. Gonna just start a new game under the Ultimate Edition. I'm assuming my old save will be visible so it doesn't get overwritten with the new one?
Just chiming in to say I gave up on playing on Gamepass PC cause I keep getting game crashes roughly 3 hours into the game. Sucks cause while I knew literally nothing about the game going in, completely loved the feel to the action/movement/gunplay. Plays stupidly good on K+M. Gonna keep my eyes on this thread and hope the PS5 version isn't as buggy. Gonna suck to restart it but oh well.
Hmm...so the Ultimate Edition just downloaded for me. I've had the icon for the Series X|S optimized Ultimate Edition version since I purchased it a couple of months ago, but I also have another icon for Control that's not labeled as the Ultimate Edition. I'm presuming I currently have both the base version and Ultimate Edition installed and that I'm okay to delete the non-Ultimate Edition? They're both about 42 gigs.
They are well implemented. Each weapon form has its own use of the triggers from the shotgun that has a slightly stronger pull and shakes when fired to the piercing shot that rattles when ready to fire.
Haptic feedback is great too. It does the thing Astro did where you can feel each step Jesse takes and there's some good vibrations.
No. The UE on PS5/XSX is a different version of the engine and the saves aren't compatible with the PS4/XBO UE.
well, since I can't transfer my save, I'm gonna go through the game and plat it again. time to bring back the good old grip, pierce, and throw build.
This kind of bummed me out, I had a save with everything upgraded and nice mods ready to play the dlc for the first time (which I never got around to).
But the idea of starting again with the next gen upgrades actually would be more fun.
I often see LTTps and posts of people not enjoying this game but it hit just the right note with me so jumping back in will be fun.
Loving the upgrade on Series X. Having originally played on PS4 Pro this is a much better experience. Gonna stick with performance mode as while I love the RT here, I just can't give up the great feeling of 60 FPS.
It also doesn't randomly chug anymore when opening the map so that makes it better by default. Just out of curiosity, was that ever fixed in the original version?

rt is fine i guess, but 30fps feels so jarring if you keep changing back and forth between the modes.
if im gonna replay this game it'll definitely be with performance mode. that actually feels like a totally different experience than i had on ps4 pro
loving dualsense implementation as well

I forgot about how clunky and slow the menu was even after patches.
On ps5 playing it via back compat for 5 minutes as a test and the menus were much more responsive, which after over 30 hours on ps4pro actually felt weird ;)
Looking forward to checking out RT but 60 is too tempting.
I'm with ya. I'm playing on PS5 and thought I might play the game with RT on, but after switching over from performance mode it almost looks like stop motion animation, haha. I just can't go back when the 60fps mode is so much smoother.

PS5 quality mode looks like the PS4 Pro version of the game with ray tracing, the amount of post-processing effects and all the other weird image construction things Remedy has going on with their engine makes the resolution bump borderline imperceptible. Not terribly impressed, frankly. Performance mode is probably the way to go unless RT is a big deal to you.
I think it looks decently better when I turn film grain off (I honestly don't like film grain in any game) but yeah, I agree that the 60fps feels like a bigger bump, especially since it has the same resolution as the graphics mode.
The fix for that is still in certification, hopefully out any day now.
It aint the same thing as old saves working, but dont forget the game's options include the Assist Mode, which gives you one shot kills, immortality, snap aim and several other options that you can use to make the game a lot easier for you, so you can progress faster if you wish. There's no penalty in using these options - you still get your Achievements and Trophies.
Looking forward to playing this for the first time. I think I will have to go with Quality mode after watching the DF video.
I spent some of the weekend checking out Control Ultimate Edition on next gen consoles. Not only is the game the most impressive ray-tracing title I've seen yet, it has the best use of haptics with the DualSense controller since AstroBot.

My impressions:
I have installed the PS5 version but can see it seemed to auto queue the PS4 version for download as well, is that normal?
Also how do you access the DLC for ultimate edition on PS5, I cant see any menu - or do you need to download that separately?
