Publishing house Digital Bros has published a report reporting on the financial success of the 2019 action game Control. Publisher 505 Games, a subsidiary of Digital Bros, has released Control on PlayStation, Xbox and PC. Now, a few years later, Control has sold over 3 million copies. Considering the game was available as part of a Game Pass subscription, this is a significant success.

According to the report, Control brought in €92 million to Digital Bros, despite the game's budget being below €30 million. These numbers highlight the financial success of the game and its importance to Digital Bros.

News of a sequel to Control was also revealed in a Digital Bros. report. Remedy, developer of Control, announced that 50 million euros will be spent on the creation of Control 2, and 25 million euros on the multiplayer spin-off Condor. Both projects will be developed on the Northlight Engine, which was used in the first Control.

While both Control 2 and Condor are in their concept stages, the financial success of the first game and sales of 3 million copies are encouraging numbers for Digital Bros and Remedy. Given the unique gameplay, original storyline, and critical acclaim, the sequel and spin-offs are also expected to be a big hit with fans of the genre.
