Remedy has yet to release any official notes or acknowledge an update for Alan Wake 2 at the time of writing. We haven’t noticed any new options in the settings with this update, so we’ll assume this is for further performance improvements for both quality and performance modes. Based on our testing, it does seem a little better than what it was before.

Additionally, some bugs have cropped up for players, with some preventing them from interacting with objects in the game. For those affected, you may want to see if this patch has fixed anything for you. There have also been heavy reports of audio issues on the Xbox Series, along with a some graphical bugs cropping up. Hopefully those have been addressed with this patch.

If you spot something different, let us know, and we’ll add them. Otherwise, we’ll keep an eye on Alan Wake 2’s social channel, as well as Remedy’s X account.

If you’re still unsure whether or not Alan Wake 2 is worth a buy, be sure to check out our Alan Wake 2 review! Here’s what our reviewer had to say about it, “It’s one of the greatest survival horror games ever made, this shouldn’t be skipped. A fantastic example of how different types of media can crossover and create a very special outcome, it was absolutely worth the wait for Alan Wake to come up with a plan to escape the Dark Place and write an outstanding story about it for us to read, watch, play, and above all, enjoy.”
