Remedy’s director of communications, Thomas Puha, revealed on Twitter that the Alan Wake 2 trailer, shown at the PlayStation Showcase, “works 100 percent on the PlayStation 5.” Puha wanted to point this out for some reason, perhaps to emphasize that this is a current generation game that doesn’t allow any compromises. “We said we were going to push the graphics of this game from the ground up in 2021,” he continued.

Remedy pointed to digital-only versions of the PS5 and Xbox Series S.
