WinterSnowfall: According to this performance overview, I'm starting to worry about how my 1080 will handle it...
I'd say run it yourself. When dealing with PCs don't assume. You could have the same machine as they did and it can run badly for them but run fine for you. Every machine is different, as software plays a big part.

Oh, I plan to, don't get me wrong. Considering I do most of my gaming nowadays in Linux (with Wine + DXVK), I somehow doubt I will be getting better performance though... My point being, it's a rather demanding game, GPU-wise.

micktiegs_8: sure will. Helps to know the CPU too especially at 1080p. This vid will help guide a bit:

OPlay: Thank you for this information! The CPU is a first generation Ryzen 1600, but I think it should be ok.
Now I will watch the video. :)
Bit late to the party, but I was able to get the game running at 1080p on an Ryzen 3 1200 and RX 470. It doesn't run at a perfect 60 FPS, but it stays above 45 FPS for the most part, and I'm sure I could have lowered the settings if I wanted a smoother experience.

The lack of a launcher running in the background might help free up a bit of CPU resources too.

GOG has been pretty unpredictable lately. Removed this game from my Steam wishlist. About to buy it here when it comes out.

Come on Remedy, with Achievements and offline video (Hey, dream big!)

AWESOME.

Nice, wishlisted.

Going over the PCGamer analysis/YT video, it looks like my 2060 Super will be able to handle it alright at 1080p (while going easy on DXR perhaps). I'm curious as to whether or not the new 30-series Nvidia cards will be able to max-out demanding games like these at 4K (with a solid 60fps minimum) .

Time4Tea: Thanks for your reply. Although, I actually meant 2GB of VRAM, not system RAM (I have 8GB). Sorry, my bad. Anyway, seems like it might be playable on low settings.

I can run it well enough on an I7 860, an R9 380 and 16gb of ram.

Have you noticed since the Epic store exclusivity deals more titles like Controi get here much faster than I think they normally would had they launched on Steam first.

Time4Tea: How so? Because it has a female protagonist that isn't wearing a bikini? ;-)

VBProject: Because the story is sexist and hateful towards white men. And main character is super-ugly woman with a square jaw.
That is just total BS.

It may have something to do with the fact that Control is technically already DRM free on Epic. You need to use the launcher to download it, but if you run it directly from the game's install folder it doesn't require the launcher/any additional DRM. There's a few games on EGS that work that way, don't know about all of them though.

Quite a few games are DRM free on Epic game store. Even metro Exodus (when it had Denuvo) could run with out the launcher after the initial verification.

Of the ones I played most were DRM free. The only one that was not was Subnautica and Exodus.

List of verified DRM free games

Control
Close to the Sun
Outer Worlds
Manifold Garden
Thimbleweed Park
Observation
Outer Wilds
Ashen
The Messenger
Rebel galaxy Outlaw

Yeah, it doesn't really have DRM on Epic. I'll probably re-buy it here someday in a deep sale, but you could just copy and past the files to a backup drive and have a "DRM free" version. Remember that games today are built to work that way, they don't really need an installer.

I will buy it again to at some point. However, I will wait for a good sale as well since I have it already on Epic. Maybe if it has the good launch sale that Metro Exodus had at nearly 50 percent off. But something tells me this one wont. It is hard to say though.

I am really glad it made its way over to GOG. It is a very good game.

Teasing with an instabuy! How mean, GOG! :-)

Yeap, this is the kind of GOG release(s) I like the most. Semi-new AAA releases with all extra content included.

Insta-wishlisted!
