This is the Epic Games Store reminding me it exists with an inescapable nightmare of an achievement notification, spoiling the beautifully woven experience that is this game.
Alan Wake II finally arrives on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC on October 27, 2023.
If you’re playing it on PC, however, you’re limited to the Epic Games Store.
Unfortunately for Alan Wake II, this choice of store and launcher actually mars the experience a bit.
Like many game launchers, the Epic Games Store features an achievement system: Do a thing, earn an achievement.
At the time of writing, there doesn’t appear to be any official way to shut off the Epic Games Store achievement notifications.
The Epic Games Store’s obnoxious achievements are a serious damper on the otherwise lovely and immersive experience I’m having with Alan Wake II at the moment. »
