Verified answer
Can you change the difficulty?
Quick answer
Yes on PS5. The PlayStation Store labels Control Resonant with advanced adjustable difficulty, meaning challenge settings or assists can be customized individually.
What this means
The store does not list every individual slider, preset name, trophy interaction, or whether every setting can be changed during combat. Those menu-level details still require Remedy documentation or final-version testing.
