Here’s why Alan Wake 2 isn’t available on Steam
Remedy is diving into the survival horror genre with the upcoming Alan Wake 2.
The game will be available starting today for Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5 and PC.
Players can purchase the PC version via Epic Games Store only. Many are unhappy about banning Steam from releasing Alan Wake 2.
According to a recent article by GamespotEpic Games funded the development of Alan Wake 2 and is the publisher of the title. For this reason, it is likely that Remedy, the game developer, has agreed to release it exclusively on the Epic Games Store.
Remedy’s move with Alan Wake 2 should come as no surprise. The same thing happened with Alan Wake Remastered. The developer also only released Control on the Epic Game Store, which eventually appeared on Steam a year later.
Alan Wake 2 may be coming to Steam, but there’s no telling when. Game Spot’s previous article brought some promising news. Epic Games Store GM Steve Allison stated that Alan Wake 2 will be exclusive to the Epic Games Store for a while. No dates have been confirmed for a Steam copy of Alan Wake 2.
