Control has shipped with several technical issues, in particular,, frame rate problems on base PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles. Remedy promised to ship an update in mid to late September, and that update has already released today — even though only on PlayStation 4.

The Finnish software house has pointed out that “this update is heading your way very soon” on PC and Xbox One as well, and is implementing several measures like a toggle to remove motion blur and film grain which should also help in improving the frame rate outside of the fixes applied.
