      Most likely never. Unlike other exclusives, this game was entirely funded by Epic.

          it appears that Alan Wake 2 is on track to be even more popular than Control, with the 2023 sequel having sold 1.3 million units as of this month, the fastest selling Remedy game to date. “By comparison, Alan Wake 2 sold over 50% more copies and over three times more digital copies in its first two months than Control did in its first four months,”

            Wow! I hadn’t really heard about it so I assumed, does it say what platform that’s for?

                That first four months wouldn’t include the steam sales which weren’t until a year later, I wonder how they compare

          Did it even get included in video card bundles to boost sales?

      This is one of the games where I think epic exclusive is understandable. But, due to past and future actions I still won’t buy it from epic, but will happily claim it in a future give away.

        Depends entirely on Fortnite’s continued dominance.

    I’m planning on getting it in a steam sale. I guess it’ll have to get to steam first.

    I couldn’t get into the first one due to the gameplay and my strong dislike of Alan himself, but I loved the story and the universe they’ve created from it. It makes me excited that so many people are loving this, since that (hopefully) means we’ll see more games that link to each other!

      I appreciate AW1 but the gameplay was pretty repetitive and feels dated today (imo). 2 is a lot more enjoyable

    I’d love to pay full price for a physical version of this game if they would release one. Weakening physical sales will only increase the power held by the digital storefronts.
