Alan Wake 2

Two investigations, one nightmare

Released on 27 October 2023 on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, Alan Wake 2 switches between two characters: Saga Anderson, an FBI agent investigating ritual murders in Bright Falls, and writer Alan Wake, trapped in the Dark Place for thirteen years.

What the press says

On PC, GamesRadar+ (5/5) calls it a strange, imaginative and truly ambitious sequel, praising its creative concept, beautiful visual fidelity and imaginative mission design; it criticises combat lacking variation and inconsistent performance. PC Gamer (88/100) says Remedy's personality shines through more boldly than ever, with creative storytelling and visual flair.

Editions and prices

Checked on 12 November 2026, with no sale open to everyone: the standard edition costs €59.99 and the Deluxe Edition €79.99 on both the PlayStation Store and the Xbox Store. The price of the PC version on the Epic Games Store could not be checked. The PlayStation Plus trial is not counted.

Who is it for?

Survival horror fans, players who enjoy experimental storytelling, and fans of Remedy (Alan Wake, Control). Those after varied combat may be less convinced.
