Alan Wake 2: When you can play, and what you need to play it (on PC)

As of this writing, Alan Wake 2 is only a week away. We’re all excited to get it in hand, and Remedy Entertainment has graciously told us when that will be. Also, we now know what specs you’ll need on PC for the best performance, and beyond a beefy GPU, it all seems pretty reasonable. Check out all the details below, and if you need to catch up, the recent “Story So Far” trailer.

We'll be returning to Bright Falls soon. Alan Wake 2 launches in one week. Check your case board below for launch timings. 📝 #AlanWake pic.twitter.com/e1p4uAF1X4
