The goal of Remedy Entertainment is to advance the sector. The crew was motivated by Naughty Dog's work, particularly the Uncharted series, and aims to become "the European counterpart of this iconic firm," according to Kyle Rowley, director of the Alan Wake 2 video game.

In an interview for the Behind The Voice podcast, Rowley discussed how this influence influenced the creation of Quantum Break and then Alan Wake 2.

“We should aspire to be the European version of Naughty Dog,” he said.

The inspiration is evident in the cinematic style of Alan Wake 2, which is recognized for its beautiful graphics and engaging story. The success of the game solidified Remedy's position as one of Europe's leading studios.

The team's ambitions go beyond horror games. Naughty Dog has established itself as a master of single-player cinematic games. Uncharted and The Last of Us have become important parts of the PlayStation legacy, with the latter considered one of the most awarded franchises in history.

Over a year after its initial release, Alan Wake 2 continues to get regular updates to improve gameplay across all platforms. It offers a number of enhancements. Most importantly, it optimizes the game for the PS5 Pro by adding a new graphics option dubbed "Balanced" that blends PS5 Pro Performance mode with PS5 Pro Quality mode. 

Minor changes were made to the graphic settings for Alan Wake 2 to achieve a consistent framerate and a less noisy image. Along with the enhancements made to the PS5 Pro, this update also fixes a few minor bugs that influence gameplay, especially in the Lake House extension.
