Alan Wake 2 Update 1.200.005 Brings Various Improvements Across the Base Game, DLC and Even PS5 Pro

Those playing on PS5 Pro, Remedy also fixes an issue with missing shadows when swapping from Quality to Performance modes.

Read on for the complete changelog to know what got fixed this November 26.

PlayStation 5 (1.200.005)
Xbox Series (1.2.0.5)
PC (1.2.5)

Improvements and additions 

• [The Lake House] Added collectibles from The Lake House to Saga’s Mind Place, when the expansion is played as part of the main campaign. 
• [Night Springs] The Night Springs theme is now available in the Writer’s Room after finishing any Night Springs chapter as part of the main campaign. 
• It is now less frustrating to deal with the “Thrower” enemies. They move around a bit less frequently, and they take longer to teleport after receiving damage. 
• [Motion Controls] Improved Gyro controls and interaction with stick input. Increased maximum available sensitivity in the options menu from 4x to 20x (for those of you that are, or could be, surgeons)  

Fixes 

• [PS5 Pro] Fixed missing Performance LSAO data. (Shadows went missing when swapping from Quality to Performance mode, smh) 
• [Night Springs] Fixed an issue where a Night Springs episode would not be available in the main campaign after loading a nearby save. 
• [Deluxe Edition] Alan’s hair now gets messier, and when using the Classic Outfit, it gets properly soaked. He also remembered to put on his wedding ring. 
• [Final Draft] Fixed some Alice photos that were sometimes not available. 
• [Final Draft] Fixed a manuscript page in Return 6 that sometimes could not get picked up. 
• Fixed some map markers persisting after interaction. 
• Fixed Sheriff Stash that could not be opened in Initiation 5. 
• Fixed (fingers crossed) the unobtainable Pat Maine radio shows. Good radio lives forever. 
• Fixed a Return 1 manuscript page that was unavailable in the Mind Place. 
• Fixed a key item in Return 3 that could be picked up too early and could lead into a soft lock. 
• Fixed some objectives (“Investigate the previously flooded area”) not clearing up properly. 
• Scratch will no longer get stuck behind the microphone stand in Return 08.  
• Fixed some localization issues across several languages. 
• Minor fixes and stability improvements 

In other Alan Wake 2 news, the game seems to be on track to be profitable for Remedy, as Control 2 should enter full production in 2025.
