How to play Alan Wake 2 on PC
Alan Wake 2 is exclusive to the Epic Games Store on PC, so you'll need to purchase the game there if you want to play on the platform.
This is because Epic is the publisher of Alan Wake 2, meaning it's unlikely to come to Steam for a good number of years… if ever.
It's also worth noting that the remaster of Alan Wake launched exclusively on the Epic Games Store in October 2021, and has still yet to arrive on Steam. Control did arrive on Steam one year after releasing on Epic back in 2020, but that was published by 505 Games.
