Alan Wake 2 is among the first AAA titles to only get a digital release, something Remedy already hasAlan Wake 2 is a digital-only release » target=”_blank”>said helps them keep the price tag low and they won’t have to deal with the game still needing a big update.

But it seems there are more reasons to go all-digital. By talking to EurogamerAlan Wake 2 game director Kyle Rowley reveals that this gives them weeks of extra development time used to polish:

“As creatives, obviously, going digital only gives us more time to polish the game. Like, a significant number of weeks actually. Because otherwise, the game that goes on the disc, obviously it has to be playable without a patch. »

Rowley ends by explaining that “I hope that this way we can give you a better version of the game”.

There seem to be many advantages to doing it digitally only. Do you expect other AAA titles to follow suit?
