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

Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney shuts down Steam hopes for Alan Wake 2. A Reddit user's inquiry regarding a Steam release for Remedy's Alan Wake 2 received a blunt response from Sweeney: it won't be happening. The concise reply offered no further explanation, leaving the disappointed gamer to consider an Xbox purchase instead.

This situation is notable given Epic Games' unique involvement with Alan Wake 2. They not only published the game but also co-funded its development with Remedy. While Remedy expressed satisfaction with the game's sales performance and the collaboration itself, they've since announced future titles will be self-published, opening the door for releases on platforms like Steam. Interestingly, the horror title reportedly hasn't yet turned a profit over a year after its launch.
