Alan Wake 2 won't be sold in Steam, Tim Sweeney confirmed

A Reddit user's inquiry about Alan Wake 2's Steam release received a blunt response from Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney: it won't be happening. The user, seeking a release date, instead received a concise, unyielding "no." This leaves the player to pursue alternative purchase options, such as Xbox.

Alan Wake 2's exclusivity on the Epic Games Store is noteworthy due to Epic Games' dual role as publisher and co-developer alongside Remedy. While Remedy expressed satisfaction with the game's sales performance and their collaboration with Epic, they've since announced future titles will be self-published, opening the door for releases on platforms like Steam. It's also been revealed that Alan Wake 2, more than a year after launch, has yet to become profitable.
