PS5 users who subscribe to PS Plus have a lot to look forward to this month. Not only do they get the new vehicle combat game Destruction All Stars and the puzzle game Concrete Genie, but they also get Remedy Entertainment's excellent Control: Ultimate Edition.

If Control sounds familiar, that's because it's an upgraded version of the psycho third-person shooter released in 2019. However, with the transition from PS4 to PS5, players are getting a graphical enhancement to bring it closer to the PC version.

The folks at Digital Foundry have put together a comprehensive graphical breakdown of the PS5 version of Control, comparing it to the PC version as well as the PS4 Pro version.

In short, Control: Ultimate Edition is a significant upgrade from the PS4 Pro version. Not only is the resolution 1.8 times higher, but it also offers both a performance mode that delivers 60 frames per second of action and a quality mode with enhanced ray-tracing effects. This console version of "Control" is very close to the PC version in most scenarios. So even those who can't afford $2,000 for a gaming rig will be able to play the PS5 version vividly on a 4K display.

On the PS4 Pro, the game ran at 1080p. The fact that most PS4 Pro games ran at higher resolutions shows how graphically intensive "Control" is; on PS5, Control runs at 1440p, a significant jump in pixel count.

The biggest upgrade in the transition to PS5 is speed. Thanks to the new console's super-fast SSDs, games load in seconds and highly textured assets load immediately. On the previous generation consoles, it could literally take a full minute to load textures.

While most gamers may prefer to turn off ray tracing and play this high-intensity action game at 60 fps, there are some distinct graphical advantages to leaving it on. Raytracing is an advanced lighting physics system that gives everything next-generation realism. Even if the game is played at 30 fps, it is definitely worth it.

Compared to the PC version, the PS5 version of Control had to make some subtle cuts to ensure that the game runs at a solid frame rate. Reflections and resolution of distant assets, for example, will be lower. But unless you compare the games side-by-side, you won't know. Still, the PS5's fast SSD is still faster than anything available on a PC.
