Remedy: Control Resonant surpasses one million sold copies milestone
Summary
- Remedy's game Control Resonant, released on September 24, has sold over one million copies, marking it as the fastest-selling game in the company's 31-year history.
- The game achieved this milestone within approximately three weeks, despite launching in a highly competitive market, and is Remedy's first large-scale self-publishing project, allowing the company to retain a larger share of sales revenue.
- The analyst maintains a full-year 2026 sales estimate of 1.9 million copies but acknowledges that Q3 sales expectations were overly optimistic due to delayed availability of physical copies, shifting sales to the last quarter.
- Reaching the one-million-copy milestone is seen as a significant step for the Control brand's long-term potential and Remedy's transition to self-publishing.

Remedy announced on Thursday that the company's game Control Resonant, released on September 24, has surpassed the milestone of one million copies sold. The achievement confirms that the game is on track for commercial success. Preliminary signs of this have already been seen in the post-launch Steam data and excellent reviews from both critics and players.
In light of the press release, our full-year 2026 sales assumption for the game (1.9 million copies) is, in our view, still in the right ballpark.
Fastest selling game in Remedy's history
Global sales of the game surpassed the one-million-copy milestone in around 3 weeks from its release, making it the fastest-selling game in Remedy's 31-year history. Remedy emphasizes in its press release that breaking the million mark is "a very strong start," considering that the game was released alongside some of the biggest names in the industry into one of the most competitive launch windows in years. Since this is Remedy's first large-scale self-publishing project, the company will also receive a significantly larger share of the game's sales than before. We believe that reaching the milestone of one million copies sold is an important milestone for the long-term potential of the Control brand, but also a financially very significant step in the company's transition to self-publishing. Control Resonant is now in an excellent position to sell with a long tail for several years.
We still believe our full-year sales estimate is at the right level, but our Q3 expectations were too front-loaded
We still believe that our current full-year sales estimate (1.9 million copies) is realistic. However, we will revise our assumptions regarding the timing of sales in connection with the Q3 preview. In retrospect, we had anticipated sales to be too front-loaded toward the end of September (the game was released on September 24), and our current Q3 forecast of 1.1 million copies is therefore too optimistic. This is also affected by the fact that when we made the forecast, we assumed that sales of physical copies would already be visible in the Q3 figures, whereas in reality, the physical copies only became available to players on October 15. Therefore, sales are more heavily weighted toward the last quarter of the year.
