Happy 1st birthday, Alan Wake 2! One of the greatest game to come out in the last couple of years has received a massive update, one which PS5 users will probably enjoy the most.
The Lake House is certainly an interesting DLC. It doesn’t continue the story from the base game. It doesn’t even focus on NPCs you meet during the campaign.
Instead, it bridges the universes of Control and Alan Wake together, making them both part of the Remedy Connected Universe. In fact, The Lake House pretty much serves as an introduction to the upcoming Control 2.

As for the anniversary update, no, it doesn’t bring any new content, any new cosmetics, etc. Instead, it focuses on quality-of-life updates in the visual and technical departments.
The PS5 Pro version will get a whole bunch of graphical upgrades, making the game even more beautiful on this platform. You’ll also get plenty of new accessibility features, including some cheat-like modes which will help you enjoy the story without having to deal with sections which might be too difficult for you.
The Lake House was released on October 22, 2024.
