27th October 2026 Remedy Celebrates Alan Wake 2's 3rd Anniversary with Blooper Reel

Today marks the third anniversary of Alan Wake 2's launch! After thirteen years, players were able to step back into Bright Falls as FBI Agent Saga Anderson on a new case centred around a ritualistic killing. Her investigation takes a weirder turn, leading her to be embroiled in the disappearance of bestselling writer Alan Wake. The experience was split into two stories: Anderson's investigation and Wake's journey through The Dark Place. 

The ambitious project was a masterpiece, receiving positive reviews from critics and players, taking home trophies at The Game Awards 2023, Game Developers Choice Awards 2024, BAFTA Games Awards 2023, and Golden Joystick Awards 2023.

To celebrate the milestone, Remedy has posted a two-minute-long blooper reel, showing some of the weird bugs that popped up during the game's development. A sequel of sorts to Quantum Break's Making Games Is Hard video.

That wasn't all! Ilkka Villi, whose incredible acting skills were displayed across four different roles, spanning both live-action and in-game, also took part in the celebrations! He shared some photographs on Instagram from his time on the project...

21st October 2026 Alan Wake 2 Receives New 1.2.10 Patch [FSR Support to FRS 4.1 / FSR Upscaling]

While CONTROL Resonant has been dominating the headlines in recent months, today there's a surprise Alan Wake 2 update! 

While the 1.2.10 update primarily focuses on support for FSR 4, it also includes additional bug fixes that will improve the experience for console owners. So it's definitely worth checking out that you're playing the latest version before jumping in.

For PC owners, there are a bunch of hefty improvements with very fancy names, but in short, the game should run more smoothly and look a little fancier. Recently, AMD renamed FSR 4 to FSR Upscaling "to better distinguish between the various features that now make up FSR Redstone". Remedy does a good job in their patch notes of informing PC players about the new upgrades and how to enable them, but if you're looking for more information online, make sure you search for the new name.

Check out the patch notes below:

PlayStation 5 (1.200.009)
Xbox Series (1.2.0.10)
PC (1.2.10) 

Improvements and additions

[PC] Added support for FSR 4. FSR 4 is automatically enabled on supported GPUs when FSR Super Resolution is selected.

[PC] Added support for FSR Frame Generation. The option is available in the graphics settings on supported GPUs.

[PC] Opacity Micromaps and Shader Execution Reordering now use the Agility SDK, allowing support across multiple GPU vendors.

Fixed lingering audio synchronization issues during cinematics on all platforms.

Fixes

Fixed an issue where the Crossbow Cult Stash could block access to the Lighthouse in New Game Plus.

Fixed a potential crash when using Quick Slots under specific circumstances.
