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

Not all email responses from gaming industry leaders bring good news, as one Reddit user discovered when they reached out to Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney with a simple question about the release of *Alan Wake 2* by Remedy on Steam. Unfortunately, Sweeney's reply was brief and definitive: the game won't be released on Steam, with no further explanation provided. Disappointed, the user shared their plan B—to purchase the game on Xbox instead.

*Alan Wake 2* is unique among Epic Games Store exclusives because Epic Games not only published this horror title but also co-financed its development alongside Remedy. Remedy has reported that the game's sales met their business expectations, and they expressed satisfaction with the collaboration. However, looking forward, Remedy plans to self-publish future games, which means fans can expect to see their titles on platforms like Steam as well. Despite this, more than a year after its release, *Alan Wake 2* has yet to turn a profit.
