You’re eagerly awaiting the release of Alan Wake 2 and have a burning question: will it be available on Game Pass? This is a crucial question for many gamers who rely on Microsoft’s subscription service for their gaming needs. This guide aims to provide a definitive answer to that question.

If you’re wondering when Alan Wake 2 is releasing, we’ve got a countdown timer ticking down until it releases, or perhaps you’re wondering about the game length or system requirements.

Is Alan Wake 2 Available on Xbox Game Pass?

Alan Wake 2 is not available on Xbox Game Pass. Epic Games holds the distribution rights, making it highly unlikely for the game to appear on Game Pass in the foreseeable future. Both Alan Wake Remastered and Alan Wake 2 are published by Epic Games. On PC, these titles are exclusive to the Epic Games Store. This sets a clear precedent, indicating that Alan Wake 2 may not be added to Game Pass anytime soon.

Although the first Alan Wake game and its spin-off, Alan Wake’s Undead Nightmare, were once part of the Game Pass library due to their ties with Windows Game Studios, the situation is different for Alan Wake Remastered. This remastered edition, which shares the same publishing deal as Alan Wake 2, has not appeared on the Game Pass platform since it was released in 2021.

Will Alan Wake 2 Ever Come to Xbox Game Pass?

There is no official word on whether Alan Wake 2 will eventually make its way to Game Pass. But it is looking doubtful; as said above, Alan Wake Remastered edition has not appeared on Game Pass as that released back in 2021.

However, it’s worth noting that other titles from Remedy Entertainment, such as CrossfireX and Control, were added to Game Pass after their initial release. This could potentially happen with Alan Wake 2 as well. Stay alert for any announcements that might indicate a change in the game’s Game Pass availability.
