With so many major releases out of the way, it’s easy to forget that Remedy Entertainment’s Alan Wake 2 is out this week. PC requirements for the survival horror game were recently revealed, and they’re steep. It also doesn’t help that communications director Thomas Puha recently said Performance Mode on consoles “mostly” runs at 60 FPS.
Puha has since taken to Twitter, stating, “Folks worrying about the console versions of Alan Wake 2… smh, and I am smiling. As I’ve said, we’ve taken great care of consoles and focused on those. I think most of you will be very positively surprised.”
He also offered more details on support for the PS5’s DualSense, noting that players will “feel” the raindrops. The haptic triggers also let each weapon feel different, distinguishing a shotgun from a crossbow. Of course, if all this isn’t to your preference, Puha confirms you can turn it off. The DualSense functionality also extends to PC, which is nice.
Alan Wake 2 launches on October 27th for PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC via the Epic Games Store. Stay tuned for the Xbox Partner Preview showcase on October 25th, where the launch trailer will debut.

DualSense support. For example, «feel» rain patter on the controller. Each weapon feels different on the trigger, so a shotgun will be markedly different from the crossbow. You can ofc turn this stuff off if you want. Also supported on PC if you use the DualSense there.

The Manuscript Pages in Alan Wake 2 allow you to look deeper into the larger story happening in the game. These pages are scattered throughout the narrative, but some are well-hidden and hard to find in Watery.
Alan Wake 2 is a tale about the outrageous horror story Alan is writing, and much of it comes to life in Bright Falls because of the Dark Place. There are Manuscript Pages that you can find that detail significant parts of the story, and several appear in Bright Falls.
The Cult Stashes you find in Alan Wake 2 can be extremely helpful in keeping your supplies high throughout the course of your playthrough. There are several you can find while exploring Bright Falls.
Remedy Entertainment has been rolling out various Alan Wake 2 patches across PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox. Here's what these patches do.
It took years after the release of Alan Wake before Remedy Entertainment could return and bring out a proper sequel. The game development team had previously tried to deliver a game installment to keep the narrative going for Alan Wake; however, nothing quite lined up in their favor. Instead, they went on to create games like Quantum Break and Control. However, since the release of Control, the developers were finally able to pick Alan Wake back up and deliver a new game for fans. Now that this Alan Wake 2 game is finally available, the development studio is crediting the folks over at Epic Games for giving them the creative freedom required to deliver such an acclaimed hit.
Alan Wake 2 has joined the shockingly long list of incredible games that have released in 2023, with Remedy Entertainment’s long-awaited survival horror sequel having launched to widespread praise from critics and audiences alike, and the developer has shared praise for its publishing partner, Epic Games, and the role it played in the game’s development.
Instead of finding Manuscript Fragments for upgrades, the eponymous character will need to find Words of Power in Alan Wake 2. These Words of Power locations allow Alan to upgrade himself in multiple different special character trees. Each upgrade increases his strength in a different way — you can deal more damage, enhance your health, or make your weapons more powerful. It all depends on those Words of Power.
A good game over screen doesn’t just serve as a notice that you need to start over. In the survival horror genre, a well-crafted, properly terrifying game over screen should serve as a deterrent, ensuring you stay alive the next time to avoid seeing the bloody words ‘Game Over’ appear on your screen. And sometimes, like in Alan Wake 2, they could be so terrifying you never want to die again.
Finnish clothing company Makia has teamed with Remedy to release a line of high-end unisex streetwear inspired by Alan Wake 2.
Following the game's digital launch yesterday, one of the first Alan Wake 2 PS5 vs Xbox Series X|S and PC comparison videos has been released.
Remedy Entertainment has responded to the worries regarding the demanding PC system requirements of Alan Wake 2, saying it «played real safe» with the settings.
