Remedy Entertainment's decision to release Alan Wake 2 only digitally allows the studio more time to polish the game and ensure it meets a certain standard before launch. If it were to be released physically, the studio would have less time to ensure the version that shipped on discs is of a certain standard. The number of digital purchases has long surpassed that of physical, but some fans still want a physical edition.
Alan Wake II, a survival-horror game developed by Remedy Entertainment, is set 13 years after the original game. Players can swap between Saga Anderson, a seasoned FBI agent investigating a string of ritualistic deaths, and Alan Wake, the missing writer from the first game. The game features a Mind Place where players can organize clues and connect the dots, and a few simple puzzles for Saga to solve. The game is a contained single-player experience with a linear, narrative-driven story. Alan Wake II is set to release on October 17th for PC, Xbox Series X/S, and PlayStation 5.
Remedy Entertainment has released new gameplay footage of Alan Wake 2, showcasing the game's impressive lighting and atmospheric effects. Players will be able to switch between co-protagonists Alan and Saga, each with their own story, after an introductory chapter featuring Saga. The game features two contrasting worlds, intense close-combat situations, and a focus on light as the ultimate weapon against supernatural enemies. Alan Wake 2 will be released on PC, Xbox Series X/S, and PS5 on October 17.
Developer Remedy Entertainment and publisher Epic Games have announced that they have "no plans to release Alan Wake 2 on disc," citing pricing concerns as one of the reasons. While game discs are cheap to produce, overhead costs like packaging, shipping/distribution, and warehousing/retail space cut into the margins a developer can expect from a $60 disc game. Most disc-free releases are relatively rare when it comes to the kinds of major games that dominate the console charts.

The game promises impressive ray tracing, storylines that make you question what a story really is, and novel gameplay conceits. Other notable games announced during the PlayStation Showcase include Spider-Man 2, Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, Final Fantasy XVI, Assassin's Creed Mirage, and The Talos Principle 2.
