Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney shuts down Steam hopes for Alan Wake 2. A Reddit user's inquiry about a Steam release for Remedy's Alan Wake 2 received a blunt response from Sweeney: it won't be happening. The concise reply left the gamer disappointed, prompting them to consider an Xbox purchase instead.

This situation highlights the unusual 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 expectations, they've since announced they will self-publish future titles, paving the way for releases on platforms like Steam. Interestingly, Alan Wake 2, over a year post-release, hasn't yet reached profitability.
