As the popularity of digital games increases, it’s clear retailers are doing what they can to make physical copies more appealing to gamers who might prefer the convenience of a download. For Amazon and Walmart, the answer has been to drop the price on games at release, offering new titles for $49.94 when they would normally go for $60. From Mortal Kombat 11 to Fire Emblem: Three Houses, we’ve seen this pattern emerge in a big way over the course of 2019. Now, Remedy’s new action-adventure game Control is the latest to receive the release day discount treatment–the title is already on sale for $10 off (PS4 and Xbox One only) at Walmart and Amazon.
At Walmart, you’ll find the PS4 version selling for $50.94 and the Xbox One version selling for $49.94. Both come with free two-day shipping. At Amazon, the PS4 version is unfortunately sold out (it was listed at $50.94), but you can still get Control on Xbox One for $49.94. If you’re buying for Xbox One and have Amazon Prime, you can get free one-day shipping with that purchase.

The game earned an 8/10 in GameSpot’s Control review, in which Peter Brown praised the game’s gorgeous art style, stylish combat, and intriguing approach to complex concepts. "It’s not often that a game invades my thoughts the way Control has," he wrote. "I’m at the point where I want to consume every last thing it has to offer. And if I’m honest, it also makes me want to go back and replay Remedy’s past games, too. Sure, it’s a faulty metroidvania in some respects, but there are so many exceptional qualities afoot that Control handily deflects any momentary ire. I can’t wait to take part in discussions about the game, to see what others have figured out, and to better understand where it all fits into Jesse’s story."
