How to play Alan Wake 2 on cloud gaming
You can play Alan Wake 2 on cloud gaming in three ways: with a subscription that includes the game, by streaming your own game copy (BYOG), or by installing it on a full cloud PC. Below, we explain each method so you can choose the one that works for you.
Play without owning the game
To play Alan Wake 2 on cloud gaming without buying it, you can use a catalog-based service where the game is included in the subscription plan:
- Amazon Luna in the Luna Standard (Prime) and Luna Premium plan
After subscribing, you can open the service's catalog in the dedicated app or in your browser (if supported). From there, you can start the stream and play Alan Wake 2 without installing or downloading it. The plan will also give you access to other games in the service's catalog.
Bring your own game (BYOG)
If you want to play Alan Wake 2 on cloud gaming with your own copy, you can use a catalog-based service that supports it as a BYOG title on its subscription plans:
- Boosteroid: works with any plan
- GeForce Now: requires the Performance or Ultimate plan (Install-To-Play)
To use your own copy of the game, you need to link the store account where you own it to the cloud gaming service. Supported store versions can vary by service:
| Service | Supported store versions |
|---|---|
| Boosteroid | Epic Games Store |
| GeForce Now | Epic Games Store |
Once your store account is linked, you can open the service's catalog, select Alan Wake 2, and start streaming in your browser or a supported app. Depending on the service, a brief cloud setup may be required before the first launch. The plan can also be used to stream other games you own that are available in the service's catalog.
On GeForce Now, Alan Wake 2 is an "Install-2-Play" title, so it must be installed on the GFN server before you can stream it. This happens automatically on launch and doesn't take more than a couple of minutes.
Install and play on a cloud PC
With a full cloud PC service, you can install and play almost any PC game, including Alan Wake 2, on a virtual desktop in the cloud:
- Shadow PC: Provides a full Windows desktop you can access via apps or a browser.
- airgpu: Offers a Windows-based cloud PC you access via remote-desktop apps.
After setting up your cloud PC, you can install almost any supported store version of Alan Wake 2 and use additional 3rd party tools or mods if the game supports them.
