Remedy Entertainment has released Update 1.400.002 (v1.4.2) for Control Resonant, focusing on resolving critical progression blockers. The patch, which went live on October 8, 2026, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, specifically addresses issues within ‘The House in Distress’ and ‘The Gap.’
This hotfix follows the significant 1.4.1 release, prioritizing stability for players navigating the main story and side content.
Quest Progression and Environment Fixes
The primary focus of this update is a fix for ‘The House in Distress’ quest. Previously, the NPC Zoe could disappear from the game world, preventing players from advancing. Additionally, a bug preventing players from leaving the Gap after defeating the Artist Resonant has been resolved.
Artifact Rewards and Side Quests
Players who completed the side quest ‘Notes: Every Dog Has Her Day’ but did not receive their proper reward will find the issue corrected. The update ensures the intended Artifact is awarded. For players who already finished the quest, a retroactive grant system has been implemented to deliver the missing Artifact to their inventory.
Combat and AI Adjustments
Several behavioral and balance issues affecting combat encounters have been addressed in version 1.4.2:
- Firebreaker NPCs: Fixed a bug where these units would remain idle during protection objectives.
- Burn Damage Scaling: Corrected an issue where Dylan would take excessive Burn damage if the Wallet Artifact was equipped while Power was depleted.
Detailed technical notes for the update are available via PlayStation Universe, confirming these changes across all supported platforms.
