Remedy Entertainment’s Alan Wake 2 was a largely a masterpiece in 2023’s gaming catalogue, and it has achieved the numbers to show it. Its blend of action, horror, full-motion video, and surreal elements made it an incredible trip as reality warped around Saga and Alan’s adventure. That level of quality has led to 1.3 million unit sales, making it Remedy’s fastest-selling game so far.

Remedy Entertainment spoke to the success of Alan Wake 2 in a press release on its investor relations website this week. There, the company revealed that by February 2024, Alan Wake 2 had sold over 1.3 million units.

It's impressive to say the least, considering that Control was no slouch either and, in fact, one of the most beloved titles of the 2019 gaming year. However, Alan Wake 2 had more hype leading up to it, a much-anticipated title, and it ultimately delivered on that hype as an excellent game. What’s more, Remedy reminded us that it has plenty of plans for post-launch content for Alan Wake 2, so the fun will continue:

That’s good news for fans of Alan Wake 2, and a much-deserved congratulations for the game. Stay tuned for more information on those paid DLCs and further updates as they drop.
