Remedy has announced during its Capital Markets Day earlier this week that Alan Wake 2 has surpassed 1.8 million copies sold worldwide since its release in October 2023.
Speaking on X, Remedy communications director, Thomas Puha, touched on the sale milestone, revealing that while Alan Wake 2 hasn’t turned a profit yet, the team are still happy with its performance.
That’s quite in line with what our business side estimated it would do. The budget was higher than what was initially planned (like most games), so we haven’t become profitable yet, and we aren’t happy with that. However, looking at the really tough market conditions, the competition, etc, we’ve done very well with the game and haven’t even really discounted it seriously yet.

Not to mention how well the game was critically received ( thank you!) We definitely feel Epic (who have been and are a great partner in every way) was the right choice, letting us make the game exactly as we wanted. Very doubtful this would have been possible with anybody else.
Alan Wake 2 was released for PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S on October 27, 2023, and we rated it as one of the best survival horror games on Sony’s flagship console. Set a decade after the events of the original game, Alan Wake 2 introduces a new character in the form of FBI agent, Saga Anderson, who travels to Bright Falls to investigate a string of ritualistic murders. Meanwhile, Alan himself is still trapped in the Dark Place, where he must look for a means to escape.
