Epic Leak Confirms Alan Wake 2 Exclusive to Epic Store

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 player to consider alternative purchasing options, such as Xbox.

This situation highlights the unique nature of Alan Wake 2's exclusivity. Unlike many Epic Games Store exclusives, Epic Games not only published the title but also co-funded its development with Remedy. While Remedy expressed satisfaction with the collaboration and sales meeting projections, they've since confirmed future titles will be self-published, opening the door for releases on platforms like Steam. Interestingly, the game hasn't yet turned a profit over a year after its launch.
