Control Ultimate Edition Ships on iPhone and iPad at $4.99 With Ray Tracing

Control reaches iPhone and iPad

Control Ultimate Edition shipped on iPhone and iPad on Apr. 22, 2026, with Eurogamer reporting a $4.99 App Store price. The port covers Remedy's original 2019 action game and includes the released expansion content bundled with the Ultimate Edition.

The technical point is not just that the game now runs on iOS and iPadOS devices. Eurogamer cites the App Store description saying Remedy implemented touch controls and changed the in-game UI, aiming, and puzzle mechanics for supported touch devices. That matters because Control's combat and telekinetic object handling were designed around controllers and keyboard/mouse input.

Ray tracing is part of the pitch

The listing also says the mobile version supports ray tracing on supported hardware. Eurogamer notes that Control remains a demanding PC and console game despite its 2019 launch, so the feature will be watched closely on newer iPhone and iPad models. The Reddit thread quickly moved from availability to performance, with users comparing touch input, frame rate, and the value of a low-priced premium mobile port.

This is another data point in the slow push of full console and PC releases onto high-end Apple hardware. For Remedy, it keeps the original Control visible while the studio works on newer projects in the same universe. For players, the practical question is whether the port feels like a real touch-first build or a desktop game forced onto a smaller screen.
