Alan Wake 2 08 Update Makes Over 200 Improvements and Fixes to the Game

ign.com:

Remedy has released an update for recently launched Alan Wake 2 that makes over 200 individual improvements and fixes to the game.

Update 08, which brings Alan Wake 2 on PlayStation 5 up to version 1.000.008, on Xbox Series X and S to version 1.0.0.8, and on PC to version 1.0.8, tackles everything from graphical issues to mission specific bugs. Of note: the patch makes various audio-related improvements.

Players had encountered audio problems, especially on Xbox, so hopefully this update sorts those out. Remedy apologised for one bug in particular, which caused the Oceanview Hotel Lobby Echo in Room 665 not to align correctly ("this one was really annoying; we apologize").

Alan Wake 2 is a smash hit with critics. In our 9/10 review, IGN said: "Alan Wake 2 is a superb survival horror sequel that makes the cult-classic original seem like little more than a rough first draft by comparison."

This week, Remedy said it was too early to say whether Alan Wake 2 had been a commercial success, although its critical acclaim gives the game “a strong basis for good long-term sales”. Remedy boss CEO Tero Virtala said all four of the studio’s other projects (Max Payne 1 and 2 remakes, Control 2, Condor, and Codename Vanguard) will benefit from staff moving on from Alan Wake 2. Two expansions are due for release next year.
