Alan Wake 2 Surpasses 3 Million in H1, Highlighting Remedy’s Fastest-Selling Hit

Remedy reports Alan Wake 2 has sold over 3 million copies in the January–June period, making it the studio’s fastest-selling game and helping move toward profitability after a slow start; PC remains Epic Games Store exclusive, which may have limited Steam sales. Despite the milestone, Remedy warns of declines in revenue, profit, and cash flow as it funds Control Resonant and other projects, with three titles in development, including Control Resonant due Sept. 24 on PC/PS5/Xbox Series X/S and the Max Payne remakes plus an unannounced project.

PS5 Pro Upscaler PSSR 2 Delivers Near-Native 4K in Alan Wake 2

An extended Alan Wake 2 analysis praises PS5 Pro's PSSR 2 upscaler, noting crisper lines and improved textures in Performance Mode that bring the image close to native 4K, with fewer gains in Quality Mode due to higher resolution. The patch auto-updates games and marks a strong early success for PSSR 2, boosting confidence in PS5 Pro support and hinting at how future hardware like PS6 could benefit.

Upgraded PS5 Pro PSSR Delivers Near-4K Clarity in Alan Wake 2

Digital Foundry finds Sony's upgraded PSSR delivers a dramatic, 4K-like image for Alan Wake 2 on PS5 Pro: in 60fps mode with 864p native, the improved upscaler cleans up grain, stabilizes motion, and sharpens textures, though tiny pepper-like artifacts persist and some very high-frequency details still show subtle flaws; the 30fps mode gains are smaller, but the upgrade significantly outperforms the first-gen PSSR and bodes well for PS5 Pro and future hardware.

Remedy's 2025 Revenue Rises to €59.5m, but Firebreak Impairment Narrows Profit

Remedy Entertainment posted €59.5m in revenue for FY2025, up 17%, with Q4 revenue of €17m (up 46%) and a Q4 operating profit of €0.7m. However, the year ended with an €14.9m operating loss due to a €14.9m non-cash impairment linked to the underperforming FBC: Firebreak. Growth drivers include royalties from Alan Wake 2, continued Control sales, and development fees for Max Payne remakes and Control: Resonant (unveiled at The Game Awards) expected this year. A new CEO, Jean-Charles Gaudechon, will take the helm on March 1, 2026, replacing interim CEO Markus Mäki.

Larian pushes back on 'better deals' claim, highlighting Alan Wake 2's Steam-free run as a Remedy stress test

Larian Studios publishing director Michael Douse disputes Tim Sweeney’s claim that storefront competition yields better deals, arguing that Remedy’s Alan Wake 2 suffered financially from skipping Steam and Nintendo Switch; he notes the game only became profitable after nearly two years with Epic backing and questions the long-term logic of exclusivity, suggesting Steam’s larger audience could have boosted sales and reduced development pressure.
