A Reddit user recently received a succinct response from Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney regarding the availability of Remedy's Alan Wake 2 on Steam. The user's simple inquiry about a Steam release date was met with a definitive "no," leaving the player to explore alternative purchase options, such as Xbox.

Alan Wake 2 stands apart from other Epic Games Store exclusives due to Epic Games' dual role as publisher and co-funder of the game's development alongside Remedy. While Remedy reported that Alan Wake 2's sales met internal projections and expressed satisfaction with the collaboration, they've also announced that future titles will be self-published, opening the door for releases on platforms like Steam. Interestingly, the horror title reportedly hasn't yet turned a profit over a year after its release.
