What Bonuses Do You Get With Control Resonant?

Before diving into how to claim everything, it helps to know exactly what you are entitled to. Preorder bonuses and Digital Deluxe bonuses are separate things, and not every item is available on every platform.

Hiss Corruption Outfit — Standard preorder and Deluxe, all digital platforms
Pickpocket’s Tool Artifact — Standard preorder and Deluxe, all digital platforms
Occult Outfit — PlayStation preorder only
AWE Mission Outfit — Digital Deluxe only, all platforms
Untapped Artifact (Wallet) — Digital Deluxe only
Starter Resource Bundle — Digital Deluxe only
Digital Artbook — Digital Deluxe only
Original Soundtrack — Digital Deluxe only
48-Hour Early Access — PS5 Digital Deluxe only

Now here is how to actually get each one.

Step 1 — Complete the Opening Section First

This is the most important thing to know and the biggest source of confusion for new players.

Your bonus outfits and artifacts are not available the moment you start the game. The Wardrobe and Gap systems that hold your bonus content are locked behind early story progression.

Current guides report these systems become available after Dylan’s initial progression and arrival at the Oldest House. Some guides describe this as the end of the prologue, others say the end of Act 1. Either way, the practical advice is the same: keep playing until the game opens the Wardrobe and Gap systems. Your items have not disappeared — they are just waiting for the game to let you access them.

If you are brand new to the game and need help getting started, our Control Resonant beginner tips guide covers everything you need to know for the opening hours.

How to Claim the Hiss Corruption Outfit

The Hiss Corruption Outfit is the main preorder bonus available across all digital platforms. You do not need to download it separately from a website or enter a code for digital purchases. Once the outfit system is unlocked, here is what to do:

Progress through the opening section until the Wardrobe becomes available
Find a Wardrobe at any safe or FBC location
Interact with the Wardrobe
Open Dylan’s outfit customization menu
Select the Hiss Corruption Outfit and equip it

The outfit is purely cosmetic. Equipping it does not affect your combat build, abilities, or any stats.

How to Claim the AWE Mission Outfit

The AWE Mission Outfit is a Digital Deluxe exclusive. The process is exactly the same as the Hiss Corruption Outfit — find a Wardrobe once that system unlocks, open outfit customization, and equip it. You do not need to complete any AWE-related mission content to receive this outfit. It is a Deluxe Edition entitlement that becomes available alongside the Wardrobe system.

How to Get the PS5-Exclusive Occult Outfit

PlayStation players who preordered digitally get an additional cosmetic that no other platform receives: the Occult Outfit.

The PlayStation Store listing confirms this outfit is a PlayStation-exclusive preorder bonus alongside the Hiss Corruption Outfit and Pickpocket’s Tool Artifact. If you preordered on PS5, check the Wardrobe after the outfit system becomes available and it should be there waiting for you.

Important: The Occult Outfit is not included with PC or Xbox preorders under any circumstances.

How to Claim the Pickpocket’s Tool Artifact

This one works differently from the outfits. The Pickpocket’s Tool is an Artifact, not a cosmetic, so it lives in a completely different system.

Artifacts provide passive effects and are part of Dylan’s character build. Untapped Artifacts need to be crafted at the Artifact Formation station in The Gap before you can use them. Here is the process:

Progress far enough to unlock The Gap
Enter The Gap and go to the Artifact Formation area
Look for the Pickpocket’s Tool or its corresponding Untapped Artifact
Craft it using the required materials if needed
Open your Loadout and equip it

This is a preorder bonus — you do not need to discover it through normal exploration. It becomes available around early campaign progression once The Gap opens up.

How to Claim the Deluxe Wallet Artifact

The Untapped Artifact (Wallet) is a Digital Deluxe bonus and follows the same process as the Pickpocket’s Tool. Once The Gap is available, go to Artifact Formation, find the Wallet, craft it, and equip it through your Loadout.

What Does the Wallet Actually Do?

The Wallet is worth understanding before you equip it automatically. It allows Dylan’s Combat Abilities to consume Health when he has run out of Power — up to a certain health threshold.

That makes it genuinely useful for an aggressive, ability-heavy build. But there is an obvious trade-off: if you are already struggling to stay alive, draining health when your Power runs dry can kill you faster. If survivability is your problem right now, a defensive artifact may serve you better than the Wallet. Do not equip it just because it is a Deluxe item.

How to Claim the Starter Resource Bundle

The Starter Resource Bundle is a Digital Deluxe bonus that works differently again — it is not claimed through the Wardrobe or by interacting with a specific station.

The resources are added to your crafting economy once the relevant systems in The Gap become available. Once you have unlocked The Gap, visit the Artifact and crafting area, check your available resources, and verify the bundle has been added. Use them on early upgrades rather than saving them — they are designed to give your build a head start.

If you do not see them immediately after starting the game, that is normal. The game gates some bonus content behind progression. Keep playing.

How to Access the Digital Artbook

This one requires no gameplay progression at all. You can access the Digital Artbook from the very start:

Go to the Main Menu
Select Deluxe
Select Art Book & OST

Spoiler warning: The artbook contains concept art and images from later portions of the game. If you are going in completely blind, save the artbook for after you finish the story. Getting spoiled by concept art would be a very Remedy way to ruin your own Remedy game.

How to Access the Original Soundtrack

The Original Soundtrack is just as easy to find. From the main menu:

Go to the Main Menu
Select Deluxe
Select Art Book & OST
Select Soundtrack

No quests, no NPCs, no progression needed. The soundtrack is confirmed as part of the Digital Deluxe package across Steam, Xbox, and Epic storefronts.

What If Your Bonus Items Are Not Showing?

Before assuming something went wrong, work through these checks in order.

Check 1 — Did You Actually Buy the Right Edition?

Check your platform’s purchase history or add-on list. On Xbox, Deluxe add-ons are listed separately. Steam also lists Deluxe content separately from the base game. If your platform shows you only own the base game, that explains the missing items.

Check 2 — Are You on the Right Account?

If you use family sharing, multiple PSN accounts, multiple Xbox accounts, or multiple Steam accounts, make sure you are logged into the account that actually made the purchase. Bonus content is tied to the purchasing account.

Check 3 — Have You Progressed Far Enough?

This is the most common reason players cannot find their bonuses. The Wardrobe and Gap systems need to unlock through story progression before preorder and Deluxe items become available. Keep playing until both systems are accessible.

Check 4 — Restart the Game

If you have definitely passed the unlock point and items are still missing, save your game, close Control Resonant completely, restart it, and check the Wardrobe and Artifact Formation again.

Check 5 — Verify Your DLC is Installed

On PC and Xbox, confirm the Deluxe packages are installed or properly attached to your account. On PlayStation, go to Game → Options → Manage Game Content and confirm the relevant add-ons are listed and installed.

Do You Need to Enter a Code?

For digital purchases, generally no. Preorder bonuses are attached to your store account entitlement automatically. Steam’s listing, for example, identifies the Hiss Corruption Outfit and Pickpocket’s Tool as part of the pre-purchase offer with no separate code needed.

Physical editions can be different. Retailer bonuses for disc copies may involve separate codes, so check the documentation included with your specific copy and retailer if you bought a physical version.

PS5 Deluxe Early Access – What You Need to Know

The 48-hour early access period that PS5 Digital Deluxe owners received starting September 22, 2026 is a platform and edition benefit — not an in-game item you claim. If you are reading this after launch, this information is mostly historical context.

The important distinction for current players: Xbox and PC Digital Deluxe editions did not include this early access period. The bonus content for those editions is everything else on the Deluxe list — the early access was PS5 exclusive.

Frequently Asked Questions – Control Resonant Preorder Bonuses

Why can’t I find my Control Resonant preorder items?

The most common reason is that you have not progressed far enough yet. The Wardrobe and Gap systems need to unlock through story progression before your bonus outfits and artifacts become accessible. Keep playing through the opening section and they will appear once those systems are available.

How do I equip the Hiss Corruption Outfit in Control Resonant?

Progress through the opening section until the Wardrobe system unlocks. Then find a Wardrobe at any safe or FBC location, interact with it, open outfit customization, and select the Hiss Corruption Outfit to equip it.

Is the Occult Outfit available on PC or Xbox?

No. The Occult Outfit is a PlayStation-exclusive preorder bonus. It is not available for PC or Xbox players regardless of which edition they purchased.

Where do I find the Pickpocket’s Tool Artifact in Control Resonant?

The Pickpocket’s Tool is claimed through The Gap’s Artifact Formation system, not the Wardrobe. Unlock The Gap through story progression, go to Artifact Formation, craft the Pickpocket’s Tool if required, then equip it from your Loadout.

How do I access the Digital Artbook and Soundtrack?

Both are available directly from the main menu under Deluxe → Art Book & OST. No gameplay progression is required. Note that the artbook may contain spoilers for later parts of the game.

Does the Digital Deluxe Edition come with early access on all platforms?

No. The 48-hour early access that began on September 22, 2026 was exclusive to the PS5 Digital Deluxe Edition. Xbox and PC Digital Deluxe editions did not include early access.

Do I need to enter a code for my Control Resonant preorder bonuses?

For digital purchases on PS5, Xbox, and PC storefronts, generally no. The bonuses are attached to your account entitlement automatically. Physical edition bonuses may include separate retailer codes, so check the documentation that came with your disc copy.

What does the Wallet Artifact do in Control Resonant?

The Wallet allows Dylan’s Combat Abilities to consume Health when his Power meter runs out, up to a certain health threshold. It suits aggressive, ability-heavy builds but can be risky if you are already struggling to survive. Consider your current playstyle before equipping it automatically.
