A Reddit user recently received a succinct, albeit disappointing, 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 blunt "no," leaving them to explore alternative purchasing options, such as Xbox.

This situation highlights the unique nature of Alan Wake 2's exclusivity. Unlike many Epic Games Store exclusives, Epic Games not only published the title but also co-financed its development with Remedy. While Remedy reported that Alan Wake 2's sales met their expectations and expressed satisfaction with the collaboration, they've also confirmed that future games will be self-published, ensuring broader platform availability, including Steam. Interestingly, despite meeting sales forecasts, the horror title reportedly hasn't yet turned a profit over a year after its release.
