Remedy Entertainment has rolled out the first update for the popular survival horror game Alan Wake 2, with assurances to fans that the team is currently addressing audio problems experienced by Xbox users. The patch, which has different version numbers depending on platform, implements assorted fixes for bugs, aesthetic glitches, UI controversies, and localisation issues. Ensuring equal gameplay across all platforms, the patch is said to now have parity in all three versions.

Players on the PC platform will also benefit from a significantly more user-friendly error message if third-party software interferes with game startup. The primary audio issues faced by players, particularly those on Xbox, are not addressed in these recent patches. However, Remedy has acknowledged awareness of these complications in an X/Twitter post and is on the task.

Expressing gratitude for the public's positive response and feedback towards Alan Wake 2, the game's developers have pledged to rectify recently noticed technical problems and to continue refining the game. Despite these minor issues, Alan Wake 2 has garnered great reviews, with IGN giving it a 9/10 rating, praising it as a worthy successor to the original game, which now seems like a rough first draft by comparison.
