This decision cuts that option out entirely. Say what you will about the marginal economics of modern AAA video games retail, but there’s still - at time of publishing, anyway - a functional resale market where people are able to take a disc they’ve bought, sell it to someone else and use that money to either buy a new game for less or, I dunno, just buy something else. That sucks! I mean, not for the reasons listed - I, too, hate getting a disc only to have to download the game anyway - but for what it means in terms of what players are able to own and, more importantly, trade in at a later date. There are currently no plans to release Alan Wake 2 on disc. Is there a disc-based version of Alan Wake 2 in the works? Secondly, not releasing a disc helps keep the price of the game at $US59.99 ($83) / €59.99 and the PC version at $US49.99 ($69) / €49.99.įinally, we did not want to ship a disc product and have it require a download for the game - we do not think this would make for a great experience either. It is not uncommon to release modern games as digital-only. You can buy a Sony PlayStation 5 without a disc drive and Microsoft’s Xbox Series S is a digital only console. For one, a large number of have shifted to digital only. Why is Alan Wake 2 a digital-only release? Remedy explain that the decision is based on two factors: current trends and an effort to keep the price at $US60 ($83) instead of the $US70 ($97) more and more games are starting to charge.
