Fortunately, the Alan Wake 2 soundtrack is just as good as the rest of the game.

Featuring a combination of original tracks and licensed songs, Alan Wake 2 uses its soundtrack to elevate the spookiness, trippiness and other elements of its design, world and story.

There are 20 tracks in total, with seven of the songs being collaborations with the composer Petri Alanko and various Scandinavian artists to create the Alan Wake 2 Chapter Songs album.

Read on to find out how to listen to the Alan Wake 2 soundtrack outside of the game, who composed it and for the full list of songs in the game.

The main composer of the Alan Wake 2 soundtrack’s original score is Petri Alanko, who has worked with Remedy Entertainment before on the original Alan Wake, its American Nightmare expansion and Control.
