Alan Wake 2 ‘Anniversary Update’ detailed

Alan Wake 2 is receiving a free ‘Anniversary Update’ to celebrate one year since its release. The update adds a bunch of quality-of-life features and features that players have been asking for since launch.

For PlayStation 5 players, the game will now take advantage of the DualSense controller and use gyro aiming if you’d like to use it. Haptics will also now work on healing items and throwables; previously, they had only worked on the guns in the game.

With the Anniversary Update, Alan Wake 2 is also getting a ‘Gameplay Assist’ menu that’s adding the following toggles:

• Quick turn
• Auto complete QTE
• Button tapping to single tap
• Weapon charging with taps
• Healing items with taps
• Lightshifter with taps
• Player invulnerability
• Player immortality
• One shot kill
• Infinite ammo
• Infinite flashlight batteries

The most important update for many players might be the ability to invert the X-axis on the mouse and controller, not just the Y-axis.

Are any of the QOL updates something you’ll be taking advantage of when you play Alan Wake 2? Let me know in the comment section below.
