How to Unlock Every Resonant Achievement in CONTROL

Background: A City That Rewards Curiosity

CONTROL Resonant is built around an altered Manhattan, where players move through a city filled with unusual enemies, hidden locations, optional activities, and secrets. That structure shapes the completion checklist: many rewards are tied not only to main progression, but to areas and tasks that do not announce themselves loudly.

Development Process: How the Main Checklist Takes Shape

The core completion path is designed to be largely linear. Most objectives can be finished in one playthrough, meaning players who follow the main sequence and pay attention to visible optional content will make substantial progress without needing to restart or reload.

The important distinction is that not every hidden item or optional activity is guaranteed by simply playing through. Some require deliberate seeking: entering overlooked locations, engaging side content, or returning attention to areas that the world leaves open. For completion-focused players, this turns the game into a checklist that combines normal story pacing with targeted exploration.

Latest Progress: Platform Numbers and Trophy Counts

On Xbox and PC, CONTROL Resonant has 49 achievements worth a combined 1,000 Gamerscore. These 49 objectives form the common completion target across those platforms.

On PS5, the same 49 objectives appear as trophies, but the total rises to 50 because the platform adds a Platinum trophy named Interdimensional Protector. The extra trophy does not introduce a separate objective list; it sits on top of the 49 achievements/trophies and represents the full completion goal.

Current Stage: What the Completion Path Means for Players

The completion structure breaks down into three practical layers. First, 49 core objectives define the main checklist on Xbox and PC. Second, those 49 objectives are worth 1,000 Gamerscore in total. Third, PS5 players have 50 trophies because the same 49 objectives are joined by the Platinum trophy Interdimensional Protector.

The remaining question is how much of the list demands extra attention. Most progress comes from a single playthrough, while the remaining secrets depend on players actively looking beyond the main route. For completionists, the most important planning point is that the game’s structure rewards both steady story progression and intentional exploration, rather than making every objective visible through normal play alone.
