Summary

Alan Wake 2 launched exclusively on Epic Games Store on PC, skipping Steam.
Now, it's being reported that Epic isn't planning on sharing the game, ruling out a Steam release.
The game is also available on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.

168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Alan Wake 2 was a critical hit when it launched in 2023, winning a bunch of awards, including the top prize in three categories at The Game Awards. However, as with any game that's exclusive to the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Epic Games Store, some PC gamers avoided it at launch, waiting for a Steam release.

Now, it seems that they're out of luck. An email purportedly from Tim Sweeney has been circulating online, in which the CEO of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Epic Games says that Alan Wake 2 isn't coming to Steam at all. Now, says that Sweeney has confirmed that the email is legi꧂timate, and that Alan Wake 2 is remaining Epic Games exclusive on PC.

It Looks Like Alan Wake 2 Isn't Coming To PC After All

80 Level reports that this email from Tim Sweeney is legitimate

In the email, appears to reach out to Sweeney to make it clear they do not want to purchase Alan Wake 2 on th🃏e Epic Games Store, and asked when the game will be available on Steam. Sweeney apparently replied, simply writing, "It's not coming to Steam".

Alan Wake 2 was financed and published by Epic Games, so it's not a surprise that it skipped Steam at launch. However, the game is still in the process of recouping its budget, so some assumed that it would eventually launch on Steam to give it another boost. That said, it had made most of its budꦡget backꩲ by November of last year, so perhaps this isn't necessary after all.

In any case, it looks like PC players interested in playing Alan Wake 2 will have to bite the b💯ullet and buy it on Epic, or turn to console. Alan Wake 2 is also available on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.
