Get it on mine please. I have tried everything you posted (thank you btw). I am on my console, on the Free Play Days, Clicked on Alan Wake 2, and I have Install, you own this, buy as a gift, choose edition and FREE TRIAL DOWNLOAD now. I clicked on that and it said I already owned this pile of rubbish. Then I went to your AWR link you have here, made sure I was signed in, and it still says $29.99.

I may be stupid, but I am not dumb!

They might have pulled it now, Wario blasting this on social media means everyone has eyes on it instantly.

Checked 5 mins ago and so far the game was still working for me, let's see if they revoke licenses from people for this or not.

I did everything from my browser (Firefox) and it worked for me just like adam said.
Click AW2, Get Free Trial. Close Web page, Click AW Remastered. Shows as Get (free). Clicked. Now shows, you own this with an install option

 

[rofif]

Better game in every way compared to its successor

absolutely true

 

[Shaki12345]

So much negativity on this forum.

Spoiled bitches. All of you.

I used the Edge browser on my Xbox.
Went to those links in the first post. Claimed AW2 trial. Then the link for AWR. At that point, it still said Install Free. If it no longer does, then the deal is no longer valid.

 

[Timberwolf25]

Checked on my Xbox and although it doesn't show on "my games and apps", if you search it on the MS store, it says you own this with the option to install
I don't have the space to install it atm

My advice: install the game when you want to play the game bro.

Absolutely, but my backlog is nuts.
Besides I'm a F'n filthy hoarder/collector that just likes having free shit even though I may or may not ever get to it.

But this one, I promise, I might get around to playing again...maybe

If you love Twin Peaks kinda vibes (who doesn't) you owe it to yourself. This is a "vibe" game.

I've played it on my X360 back in the day in addition to the dlc. It's one of my favorite games for that system
I'm already sold on playing this remaster again even though it barely is a remaster.

 

[DragoonKain]

Alan Wake is such an awful fucking game it’s amazing that people still talk about it. I tried it a few weeks ago and the combat was just some of the worst shit I’ve ever seen.

I don't know if I'd call it awful, but I think it was so overrated. Running from light to light with bland combat was not what I was hoping for when I first played it.

Do it, and then play 2 for even more vibes and atmosphere. Gameplay is not top priority here. It's all about the vibes.

You only live once mate so go on, play the game and live.

 

[Timberwolf25]

I had a friend try to get it as well. Looks like it's been nuked

 

[ANoa]

Forgot it was exclusive to Epic on PC but was too late for the deal anyways. Have AW1 + DLC on Steam and remember enjoying it a lot for the atmosphere and story. Remastered should be a good grab for the console bros who managed to snag the deal.

 

[SkylineRKR]

Good game, nailed the atmosphere and felt like watching a mystery thriller series. Falls apart when you need to shoot enemies though.

Thanks guys. I just can't get it to work. So either it's figured out, or I am just SOL.

 

[Kvally]

Apparently not available anymore.





Edit: It seems like the deal no longer works

This is what it looked like when it was available

Good luck and God speed to everyone who was able to redeem while it lasted.

 

[Kacho]

Just got yeeted from my account

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

Yep same, got a message saying they revoked it.

 

[bender]

I think adamsapple owes everyone in this thread a copy of Alan Wake remastered for getting our hopes up.

 

[Punished Miku]

I think I still have DBZ Fighterz. In your face.

 

[Certinty]

So stupid. It’s such an old game at this point they should just let people have it and hope newcomers like it enough to buy the sequel.

Sony literally messed up giving Knack 2 free at launch and even then they didn’t revoke access to those who got it.

 

[adamsapple]

It was fun while it lasted

Was it installed at the time?

 

[Kacho]

Was it installed at the time?

Nope

 

[intbal]

Hmmm...
Neither was mine.
But I had already installed the game and beaten it, then uninstalled.
I got this same removal message, but when I go to my Full Library, the game is still there and it lets me install it.

Maybe a caching thing. A full reboot will remove it.

Nope. Still there.

Maybe the fact that I got the Achievement for completing it is keeping it tied to my account. I don't know.

Just check my games and apps and it’s there for me too. Installing now to see if I can boot it.

Well, if it turns out to not work, and you still have a copy of the 360 version, I'd say you're not really missing anything, so it's definitely not worth a purchase. With FPS Boost, the 360 version is good enough.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

I don't think it matters if you can still install it, you can pretty much install any game on the xbox consoles without owning the game, it will just ask you if you have a license or disc if you try to boot it

I figured. I have that so I didnt bother.

 

[adamsapple]

Whelp, looks like it's still working for me, lol.

I had the game installed already, but it also still shows as part of my library.

So I guess anyone who added it to their library but didn't download it, would have lost it now.

 

[Timberwolf25]

Never got the email. Fingers crossed

Edit: Still shows ready to install. I don't have the space to test if it will install

It might be a midnight Microsoft Time (Pacific) removal.
Just like when they say "your gamepass expires tomorrow", but it lasts all that day until the clock turns over to the next.

I'm EST. Who else that has had it removed is also EST?

I don't know of anyone that has had it removed. So far, the only thing reported in this thread is the alert about having it removed.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

nvm already mentioned

 

[diffusionx]

Yep same, got a message saying they revoked it.

They're doing you a favor.

Damn you, Phil!

Edit: I still seem to have it registered. No warnings or whatnot.

So you are saying it’s the Midnight Channel? Was there fog around?
