Profitability details for Alan Wake 2 were initially shared in early November; however, the exact number of units sold was unknown at that time. This uncertainty has since been resolved with Remedy Entertainment’s recent announcement outlining their plans for the upcoming years, supported by specific figures. As of now, 1.8 million copies of Alan Wake 2 have been sold across both digital and physical formats. This marks an increase of 500,000 units since February 2024, particularly following the release of the physical version on October 22 last year. While it is not clear if this recent availability has contributed to increased sales, it is evident that Alan Wake 2 is no longer regarded as a commercial failure like its predecessor. Compared to other established franchises, these figures remain modest, but Remedy Entertainment aims to establish their title as a long-term seller. Here’s to hoping they achieve their goal.
