A Reddit user's inquiry about Alan Wake 2's Steam release received a blunt response from Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney: it won't be happening. The user, having received this concise rejection, now plans to purchase the game on Xbox.

This situation highlights a unique aspect of Alan Wake 2. 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 expectations and expressed satisfaction with the collaboration, they've also confirmed that future games will be self-published, ensuring wider platform availability, including Steam. Interestingly, despite meeting sales forecasts, the game reportedly hasn't yet turned a profit over a year after its release.
