The Xbox One X is 1440p base resolution + reconstruction and the most stable framerate. PS4 Pro is 1080p base resolution +reconstruction and more slowdown but a correct version. Xbox One S and Xbox One are bad at 720p reconstruction and huge slowdown sometimes 15 fps but better than PS4 at 900p base resolution and slowdown to 10 to 11 fps sometimes...

Why make those choices?? What is it about the visuals that are essential to the game, such that 10 fps is more important than missing whatever graphical effect?
CPU problem? Because it runs better on x1 than PS4
Possibly, but also could be that remedy knows xbox & dx better than ps4 and its api.
Not read any reviews or anything so performance was really a shock to me when I watched DF.
Obviously they couldn't afford to do it, but bet it would have been an amazing next gen only launch game. Shame they couldn't delay a year.
I suppose Guerrilla Games helped them for the PS4 version but Control has a tiny budget a PS3/360 AAA budget but a today AA budget

Edit: in DF video going out of the menu create some big slowdown on all consoles they probably have some streaming and I/O issue too.

Is that a salt rock
I keed.
I have a PS4 Pro...
But I will probably not play many third party title until next generation console, same for Cyberpunk 2077. I wait a PS5 version... The console begin to suffer and midgen are ok but base console begins to have serious trouble.
My last game will be first party title and maybe one or two third party title with good performance...
This would be my guess.
Perhaps having a lot of active physics objects in PhysX is part of the problem, or lot of AI, or refreshing GI/reflections etc.
Game seems to run very nicely when outside of big fights.
After I replace the internal HDD to sshd, my PS4 PRO runs games better.
No more random hitching
The whole PS OS still as slow as windows Vista tho (when playing heavy games, games that make the fan sounds like hairdryer).
Taking a video? Hahahaha the share menu will come out like 5 secs later.
Have multiple downloads and backdround apps while playing a game that's loading? HAHAHA don't you dare going back to desktop and open the library
And many more....
Edit: overclocked switch is a bliss to use.
I wonder, how well control run on PS4 PRO with a wee bit of overclocked?
Does the home brew scenes even have OC app?

That is certainly one thing that could contribute to it being somewhat CPU limited. From what I've seen Control has a LOT of physics based debris with much of the environment being destructible to some degree and one of the main powers is physics based. Even just using the Dash power will throw up physics based debris.
That CPU boost in the next gen consoles is going to be a welcome relief to developers to allow for more consistent performance.

Isn't PhysX GPU based now?
Pretty sure it's still mostly CPU.

Some console optimisation will arrive but it will take time, they are a tiny studio...

The PhysX API buythe graphics company Nvidia is mostly CPU? This does not make sense to me.
For portability. The bulk of the GPU stuff is vendor locked, IIRC.The PhysX API buythe graphics company Nvidia is mostly CPU? This does not make sense to me.

My bet is that this game was made for the X1, with it's memory bandwidth in mind.
