Alan Wake 2 won't be sold in Steam, Tim Sweeney confirmed

A Reddit user recently received a succinct, albeit disappointing, response from Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney regarding the availability of Remedy's Alan Wake 2 on Steam. The user's simple inquiry about a Steam release date was met with a blunt "it won't happen," leaving the gamer to explore alternative purchasing options, such as Xbox.

Alan Wake 2's exclusivity to the Epic Games Store is notable, given Epic Games' dual role as publisher and co-developer alongside Remedy. While Remedy reported that Alan Wake 2's sales met internal projections and expressed satisfaction with the collaboration, they also revealed that the title, over a year after release, remains unprofitable. Looking ahead, Remedy will self-publish future titles, ensuring broader platform availability, including Steam.
