Remedy Entertainment revealed the sale figures for Alan Wake 2, confirming that it’s been a huge success with over 1.3 million units sold, making it Remedy’s fastest-selling title to date.
Alan Wake 2 was released in October 2023 and has been well-received by critics, including our review where we scored it a 9/10, saying: “A masterpiece in terms of atmosphere building and one of the few games in a long while that effortlessly kept me fully engrossed in its world, Alan Wake 2 is Remedy Entertainment’s best game yet.”

“By comparison, Alan Wake 2 sold over 50% more copies and over three times more digital copies in its first two months than Control did in its first four months.” said Remedy in a press release sent to GameWatcher.
“Since its release in 2019, Control has sold over 4 million units, generating net revenue of approximately EUR 100 million. A great game can generate excellent long-tail sales, and we expect this to be the case with Alan Wake 2 as well.”
Remedy is in the process of developing two downloadable content (DLC) packs for the game, with the first Night Springs planned for late spring 2024. Since its October release, there have been numerous patch updates, with Remedy committed to ongoing support.
“We are happy with the start of Alan Wake 2’s sales. The price point has also remained at a high level, and the game has already recouped a significant part of the development and marketing expenses. We will continue to develop the game to serve existing fans and attract new players and expect the game to continue selling well.” said Remedy’s CEO Tero Virtala
“The successful launch of Alan Wake 2 has supported our other game projects: Condor, Control 2 and Max Payne 1&2 remake have all increased development pace thanks to the personnel released from Alan Wake 2, and we expect these projects to reach their next development stages during the first half of 2024.”
