Alan Wake DLC Free On Xbox Live Marketplace
Alan Wake is currently available to play as a backward compatible game. If you never played it, I suggest you change that. If you’ve played it but never tackled the DLC, now is a very good time to give it a look.
The two DLC chapters, The Signal and The Writer, are both free to download. It’s not clear if this is a permanent price reduction or a limited offer, so best not to wait too long.
The DLC adds new gameplay mechanics and wraps up Alan’s story, at least for the time being. I’m not always sold on DLC’s narrative value, but I think in this case both additional chapters enhance the story.
You can grab the free DLC here and read our review of the original game for more info. The game itself is still priced at $19.99.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
