Psychological horror with a detective twist, Alan Wake 2 Deluxe Edition sits in Remedy’s story-driven line-up alongside Control, competing with the likes of Resident Evil’s modern survival-horror pacing but leaning harder into atmosphere, mystery and narrative experimentation. On PS5 it’s a cinematic, chapter-based thriller split between FBI agent Saga Anderson investigating murders in Bright Falls and writer Alan Wake trapped in a nightmarish dark dimension.

Who will get the most out of the Deluxe Edition?

If you’re here for the world-building and plan to stick with it, Deluxe makes sense: it’s aimed at players who want the full package rather than just the core campaign. The base game is already substantial, but the extra content is there to extend the story and give you more reasons to return once the credits roll.

• Two expansions included — story add-ons that continue the narrative beyond the main campaign.
• Bonus cosmetics — extra outfits and items if you like tweaking the look without changing the tone.
