UPDATE: In a FAQ shared following tonight’s Alan Wake 2 release date news, Remedy has announced the long-awaited horror sequel will be a digital-only release on all platforms and that there are “currently no plans to release Alan Wake 2 on disc”.
“There are many reasons for this,” the developer explained. “For one, a large number of have shifted to digital only. You can buy a Sony PlayStation 5 without a disc drive and Microsoft’s Xbox Series S is a digital only console. It is not uncommon to release modern games as digital-only.” It also argued “not releasing a disc helps keep the price of the game at $59.99/€59.99 and the PC version at $49.99/€49.99”, and insisted it “did not want to ship a disc product and have it require a download for the game”.
Alan Wake 2 will be available in two versions at launch: a standard edition costing £39.99/€49.99/$49.99 USD on PC and £49.99/€59.99/$59.99 on consoles, plus a deluxe edition priced at £54.99/€69.99/$69.99 on PC and £64.99/€79.99/$79.99 on consoles.
