Remedy has confirmed Alan Wake 2 is its fastest-selling game ever, passing one million sales by the end of 2023.

A Strong Sales Milestone
Remedy announced that Alan Wake 2 had become the studio’s fastest-selling game.
The game reached over one million sales by the end of 2023 and continued growing after launch.
Why the Sales Were Important
Alan Wake 2 was a big project for Remedy, so its sales performance mattered a lot.
The game was more ambitious than the original, with two playable characters, a darker horror style, and a larger connection to the Remedy Connected Universe.
Word of Mouth Helped
A big reason Alan Wake 2 kept gaining attention was strong word of mouth.
Players talked about its story, music, strange set pieces, and links to Control, which helped keep interest alive after release.
What It Meant for Remedy
The sales milestone showed that Alan Wake had grown beyond a cult favourite.
It also helped prove that Remedy’s unusual storytelling style could still reach a large audience.
