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

Alan Wake 2's exclusivity to the Epic Games Store is notable, given Epic Games' role not only as publisher but also as a co-financier of the game's development alongside Remedy. While Remedy reported that Alan Wake 2's sales met their expectations and praised the collaboration with Epic, they've since announced future self-publishing, paving the way for releases on platforms like Steam. Interestingly, despite meeting sales projections, the horror title reportedly hasn't yet turned a profit over a year after its release.
