Remedy stated there are no current plans to release Alan Wake 2 on disc. Epic Games is also the developer of one of the most popular games today in Fortnite and the creator of the widely used Unreal Engine. While Remedy stated that “it is not uncommon to release modern games as digital-only,” it’s still unusual for a big blockbuster, triple-A game to not have any sort of retail release, especially from a major publisher. Remedy also stated that they didn’t want to release a disc version that required a download for the game, as the studio didn’t believe “this would make for a great experience either.”
According to Remedy, not releasing a disc version helps keep the game’s cost on consoles at $59.99 instead of the new $69.99 standard and $49.99 on PC. The studio stated that many players have shifted to buying only digital games, as seen with the PS5 digital console and Xbox Series S. Remedy gave three reasons why Alan Wake 2 isn’t getting a physical release. The game’s price will be $59.99 across all console platforms on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S and $49.99 on PC through the Epic Games Store.
