Alan Wake is Having a Massive Steam Sale Today Before it Leaves Xbox Live and Steam Tomorrow

Written by Brandon Hofer on May 14, 2017

News: Due to some music licensing issues Alan Wake will be taken down tomorrow so be sure to buy it now for super cheap while you can.

Alan Wake will be leaving Steam and Xbox Live tomorrow (Monday, May 15) due to a music licensing issue. This isn’t the only time this has happened with a game and hopefully it is just temporary. It should be immediately stated that if you have bought Alan Wake that you will still own the game and you should still be able to download off of Steam and Xbox Live if you uninstall the game. You just won’t be able to buy it anymore after tomorrow. It should also be noted that both Alan Wake and Alan Wake’s American Nightmare are backwards compatible on Xbox One.

The development team at Remedy is currently looking into re-licensing the music but who knows how long that will take. Due to Alan Wake leaving both services tomorrow Remedy is holding a massive sale on the franchise on Steam so that those who haven’t picked it up can do so at almost no cost.

Alan Wake - $2.99

Alan Wake’s American Nightmare - $0.99

Alan Wake Collector’s Edition Extras - $0.99

Alan Wake Franchise - $3.99
