Several Big PS5 Games Have Gone Gold, Some Nearly Two Months Ahead of Launch
Three major PS5 titles have recently achieved gold status, a development milestone indicating the games are ready for manufacturing and distribution. Remedy Entertainment announced that Control Resonant reached this certification point a couple of days before the article’s publication. While the “gone gold” designation carries less weight in 2026 due to day-one patches and post-launch updates, it remains a significant development checkpoint. Several of these titles are launching nearly two months after achieving gold status, highlighting the gaps between completion and retail release in modern game development.
