Remedy doesn’t think Control is a “big hit”

Remedy Entertainment does not consider Control a “big hit” even with critical praise and sales that crossed the 2 million mark in December 2023. This was stated by the CEO of the company in an interview with GamesIndustry.biz. Thero Virtala

This is not to say that Remedy is disappointed with the results of the game – far from it. However, Virtala clarified that the figure of two million does not correspond to the status of a large-scale hit by the standards of the modern gaming industry.

“We are very pleased with Control’s success. It has won many Game of the Year awards, has sold over two million copies and continues to sell, but two million is not a big hit in today’s industry. what we are striving for “.

In comparison, since its launch in 2010, Alan Wake has sold over three million copies worldwide, and the original Max Payne has exceeded 4 million. Control is still far from these numbers, but it is worth considering that its release took place less than two years ago.

Control is available on PC and all current consoles, including Switch. On the Nintendo hybrid console, the game runs “over the cloud”.
