Microsoft has revealed that it is going o add Control to its Xbox Game Pass subscription service this Thursday on January 21, 2020. The game will be free-to-play for everyone that has the Game Pass monthly service activated on their PC.
Remedy Entertainment’s Control was released back in August 2019 and was an instant hit among fans and critics. The game was nominated for The Game of the Year Award in 2019 and won the Game Award for the best art direction.
It is safe to say that it is going to be the biggest title this month for Game Pass owners, and more so for people who hadn’t yet got the chance to play it on their PC. The announcement for the game was made on the official Twitter account of Xbox Game Pass for PC.

The events of Control revolve around the FBC, a clandestine American government agency responsible for overseeing and controlling supernatural activities, is under attack by a paranormal force known as The Hiss. The game’s protagonist, Jesse Faden, arrives at the FBC and finds it already under the control of the Hiss. The overall objective of the player is to retake control of the FBC by eliminating the Hiss. Along the way, they will encounter hostile forces which they must either defeat or escape from.
Unlike Remedy’s previous games where the stories are set in multiple locations. Control the game takes place inside a building called the Oldest House which is a skyscraper in Manhattan, New York where the FBC operates.
Since the game is all about supernatural abilities, the location will have some unusual things going on because the place defies the laws of physics and is way too big from the inside. The place also has connections to other dimensions so players will eventually get to explore more places.
