Remedy knows that gamers never have enough video games, and right after the release of ‘Spider-man 2‘ and ‘Super Mario Bros Wonder‘, they are getting ready to launch ‘Alan Wake 2‘, the sequel to a game from 13 years ago. It’s one of the first triple-A titles in history that will be released exclusively in digital format. We appreciate Marie Kondo’s attempt to keep our homes tidy, but in return, our computer and console storage will be filled quite nicely.
The mystery of the gigabytes
This Friday, on the 27th, we’ll be able to witness Alan’s new adventures. But if you’re in a hurry, you can start preloading the game right now on Xbox Series and PS5, although not on PC. However, we have a fun task for these days: make space, no matter what, on your hard drive. Because depending on what you purchase digitally, it might not be that simple.
To be specific, on PC, you’ll need to have 86 GB of free space, slightly more than on PS5 (85 GB) and Xbox (82 GB). Did you want stunning graphics in a long game? Well, there you go. It’s true that Microsoft‘s console comes with 1 TB of space (or 512 GB in the case of Series S) and PS5 has 825 GB. So, this sequel is here to occupy a solid ten percent of your hard drive all by itself.
In this case, ‘Alan Wake 2’ is a much darker installment, focused on combat difficulty compared to the first part, which, relatively speaking, was more paced and less terrifying but had too many straightforward shootouts. For now, remember that you can play the original game either in its remastered version or in a 30-minute summary created for ‘Fortnite.’ Yes, for ‘Fortnite.’ No one said the 21st century was going to be simple.
