Remedy Entertainment announced Alan Wake 2 sold over one million units by the end of December 2023 and 1.3 million units as of the beginning of February 2024. The game is also Remedy's fastest selling game ever.
To compare, Alan Wake 2 has sold over 50 percent more units and over three times more digital units in its first two months than Control in its first four months. Control has sold over four million units lifetime and generated approximately €100 million in revenue.
"We are happy with the start of Alan Wake 2’s sales," said Remedy Entertainment CEO Tero Virtala. "The price point has also remained at a high level, and the game has already recouped a significant part of the development and marketing expenses. We will continue to develop the game to serve existing fans and attract new players and expect the game to continue selling well.
"The successful launch of Alan Wake 2 has supported our other game projects: Condor, Control 2 and Max Payne 1&2 remake have all increased development pace thanks to the personnel released from Alan Wake 2, and we expect these projects to reach their next development stages during the first half of 2024. We now have two established franchises: Control and Alan Wake, which are linked through the Remedy Connected Universe. Growing and expanding these franchises will be a key part of our future."

Alan Wake 2 deserves to sell on the level of the RE remakes. It was my Game of the Year last year.
Alan Wake II is such a gem. I am usually very pussy about horror games, but the gameplay is just THAT good.

three times more digital units in its first two months than Control in its first four months.
Hahahahha noo shit sherlock when its forced digital only vs physical and digital
We can gather for this that Control was 50-50 in terms of physical and digital, though.
It was actually 60-40 in 2019(launch year) for digital. In 2020 it became 90-10. Remedy clarified this one previously.
If that's the case then the math in their PR is off by quite a bit haha.
