New Alan Wake 2 update finally adds what PS5 and Xbox players need

Remedy Entertainment has finally added chapter select to Alan Wake 2 to make hunting PS5 trophies and Xbox achievements much easier.

A physical release?

[Tacoboto]

At this point it may just be better if they do a Complete Edition after all these updates and upcoming dlc.

But with Epic as the publisher... I cast doubt on even that

[REDGUM]

Please don't tease 😫. I'm so hanging to play this but I just don't buy digital, especially not here in Australia where everything is inflated.

[Stuart5756]

Same here, almost bought it in the sale it was 20% off, but no. Need that physical. When will they learn? At half price that digital is mine, but I would pay full RRP for physical, publishers, please read the comments.

In the next 10-20 years, the physical will disappear. Better prepare, don't resist. The discless PS5 is proof of what's to come. Even Sony knows this. This isn't just a "cheaper" PS5...but the beginning of a transition.

[shinoff2183]

Don't lump Playstation with xbox, Sony shown their committed to physical releases time and time again. They were also the first to work with smaller publisher releasing print runs as lows as 1k.

Nice try raken

you are delusional if you think physical is going to last much longer, they dont care what you think

[toxic-inferno]

We can only hope. I am very excited to Play AW2, as I love the Alan Wake / Control universe. But I just can't bring myself to buy the digital version. So until they come to their senses and offer a physical copy, I won't be purchasing it.

Even if it's an £80 premium deluxe edition, I'd rather that than buy digital.

[1UP-Words]

Sadly not! Hopefully they take the same approach as Larian with Baldur's Gate though. I'd love a full physical edition with extras thrown in.

[G1L]

Yes please :). Waited for baldurs gate 3 and am waiting for this one 😁

[andy85]

Clicked on this thinking it was physical -_- their loss

[CrimsonWing69]

You'll never play this then? If that's the case I feel like you'll also be losing out.

[andy85]

I will play it, when it's on PS Plus or deep discount. Physical game futures need supporting and messages still to keep being sent. If they die we're at the mercy of the PS store prices

I play a lot of games every year.

I don’t mind waiting for bargain bin flash sale for Alan Wake 2 if they don’t release a physical copy even if it takes a couple years or more. I always have another game I want to play.

[shinoff2183]

I bought octopath traveler 2 for 25 off Amazon last week not 59.99 on psn.

@jznrpg and @shinoff

I’m not sure you understand what I was saying here. I’m glad you all found games on sale… not sure the relevance to that pertaining to this discussion, but good for you.

What I was saying is to miss out on a game that is ONLY digital because you want it physical would be a loss to you. Alan Wake 2 is an exceptional game. I’d honestly hate missing out on the experience. Digital games have sales, too believe it or not.

What you’re telling me is you’ll buy it digitally on sale. Great! I’m saying missing out on a game because it’s ONLY digital is a loss for someone interested in the game but refusing to buy it because there’s no physical.

Hopefully, that makes more sense…

[Futureshark]

Now can replay 'that' level again, awesome!

[RedDeadLB]

Fixed the crashes on Xbox Series S?

[Dirtnapstor]

Excellent game!
I'm hoping they patch the bug that will not let me pick up my last charm (in the rangers station) needed for the Rustic Charm trophy... it is indicated on the map, but is not sitting on the bed as guides indicate. Frustrating.
Any thoughts?
I'll have the Plat once that pops.

[mastershredder]

Why does Alan Wake look like a slightly more expesnive version of Billy Mitchell?

[hiawa23]

Awesome. Loving the game.
