Without noise, PlayStation Plus Extra And PlayStation Plus Premium are currently offering one of the most acclaimed single-player games of the last generation: Control Ultimate Edition. This supernatural TPS signed Remedy Entertainment was a candidate for Game of the Year and yet remains discreet in the catalog, lost among the new releases.
Problem: this gift has an expiration date. The game sheet is now marked in the section “Last Chance to Play” And Control Ultimate Edition will leave the Extra/Premium catalog on May 19, 2026. Before seeing it disappear, it is clearly worth understanding what it offers and if you have the time to finish it.
Control Ultimate Edition on PS Plus: why this GOTY candidate deserves your time?
Released on August 27, 2019, Control is a third-person action-adventure game where you explore the mysterious Federal Bureau of Control, a building that is constantly distorting. Between telekinetic powers and impossible architecture, Remedy deploys a surreal universe connected to that ofAlan Wakein what the studio calls the Remedy Connected Universe.
The game received eight nominations The Game Awards 2019including Game of the Year, and won the award for Best Artistic Direction. It has a Metacritic score of between 82 and 85, and a rating of 4.38 out of 5 on the PlayStation Store. L’Ultimate Edition offered in PS Plus includes the full game and its two expansions, while it is normally sold for around 40 dollars (around €40).
How long will Control Ultimate Edition remain free in PS Plus Extra and Premium?
Control Ultimate Edition is part of the wave of games that will leave the PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium catalog on May 19, 2026. Like all the titles in this section, it becomes unplayable via subscription on this date, even if you have already downloaded it. From there, you will have to buy it to continue your game.
Access is reserved for PS Plus Extra and PS Plus Premium subscribers, billed respectively €125.99 and €151.99 per year, compared to €71.99 for PS Plus Essential. Important: Essential only gives access to monthly games, which you keep as long as the subscription remains active, while the Extra/Premium catalog operates on a rotational basis. On PS4 as on PS5just open the Last Chance to Play category to see that Control is in the hot seat.
Do you have time to finish Control before it’s removed from PS Plus?
Good news for your backlog: the main campaign of Control is completed in around 10 to 15 hours, and count on almost 25 hours including the side quests and the two DLCs. By launching the game now and devoting a few evenings to it, it is entirely possible to complete it before May 19, 2026.
The issue is twofold. On the one hand, you make your Extra or Premium subscription profitable with a title rated as an almost GOTY, without paying the usual 40 dollars. On the other hand, you prepare for the arrival of Control Resonantthe sequel scheduled for late 2026. If you’re looking for a big narrative solo to launch before the catalog rotates, this is probably the best current deal on PS Plus.
