- The game requires at least an A17 Pro chip (iPhone 15 Pro/Pro Max and recent iPads with M-series or A17 Pro) for smooth performance.
- The game has been adapted for mobile with UI and control tweaks, but sprinting on iPad still requires holding down a button.

Control: Ultimate Edition is now available for iPhone and iPad. Released last October, the game costs just $5 and offers a full experience with all DLC included. Best of all, it works across multiple Apple devices, including Macs, making it a versatile choice for gamers. Remedy, the developer, redesigned the game’s interface and controls to fit touchscreens. They also improved aiming and puzzles to make gameplay smoother on smaller screens. Plus, players can use controllers for a more traditional gaming feel.
The game requires an iPhone with an A17 Pro chip, such as the iPhone 15 Pro or newer models. Many iPads with M-series chips or an A17 Pro can run Control, but older models like the basic iPad with an A16 chip are left out. During testing, the game played smoothly on an iPad Air with an M4 chip, although some controls could be more fluid.
Control’s release highlights increased support from Apple for high-quality gaming. Recently, popular titles like Resident Evil, Death Stranding, and Assassin’s Creed Mirage have also arrived on Apple devices. While Apple devices aren’t yet the first choice for gamers, the growing lineup of AAA titles makes a strong case for their potential. As technology advances, smart cities and urban innovation could benefit from this gaming push, encouraging more interactive and connected urban environments. These improvements foster better communication, sharp problem-solving, and smarter infrastructure, shaping the future of our cities.
