The year 2023 turned out to be an extraordinary one for the world of video games. Titles like Baldur’s Gate 3, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, and Resident Evil 4 flooded the PlayStation 5, offering players an array of jaw-dropping experiences. Among these stellar games was Alan Wake 2, a contender for Game of the Year at The Game Awards, now available on the PS Store at a surprisingly affordable price.
### Alan Wake 2 Slashed to Half Price on the PS Store
Brought to life by Remedy Entertainment, the Finnish studio known for its gripping game narratives, Alan Wake 2 is now available for $29.99 on the PS Store. This is a real bargain given that the usual tag on this game sits at $59.99. This limited-time deal offers PS5 enthusiasts a chance to dive into one of the standout games of 2023 at half the cost. The sale covers the Standard Edition, which means you’ll get the core game. But if you’re all in and want to enhance your gameplay, the Deluxe Upgrade is also on sale, priced at just $10 instead of the regular $20. So, for a total of $39.99, you can snag the complete Alan Wake 2 experience.
However, there’s a catch: if you’re tempted by this offer, it’s best to act swiftly. The discount wraps up on February 27 at 2:59 A.M. ET.
The game’s description invites players into a chilling world: “Fueled by the horror story, supernatural darkness invades Bright Falls, corrupting the locals and threatening the loved ones of both [Saga] Anderson and [Alan] Wake. Light is their weapon—and their safe haven—against the darkness they face. Trapped in a sinister horror story where there are only victims and monsters, can they break out to be the heroes they need to be?”
When Alan Wake 2 hit the shelves in October 2023, it garnered an impressive average score of 89 on Metacritic based on 71 critic reviews. The game’s excellence didn’t go unnoticed at The Game Awards 2023, where it scooped up honors for Best Game Direction, Narrative, and Art Direction, and earned nominations for categories such as Best Score and Music, Audio Design, Performance, Action/Adventure Game, and, of course, Game of the Year.
