Alan Wake 2 free Anniversary Update detailedIt's been almost a year since the release of Alan Wake 2, and to celebrate, Remedy is rolling out a free update alongside the launch of The Lake House expansion on October 22 that includes several new features and improvements. According to the developer, the Anniversary Update brings the ability to invert the X axis on the mouse and controller, which it says has been highly requested by players. Along with some PlayStation-only improvements that we won't bother going over here, the update also adds a "Gameplay Assist menu," which you will be able to find in the gameplay options. The Gameplay Assist menu allows you to enable options such as one-shot kill and player immortality. Remedy has confirmed that turning on any of these options will not disable Xbox achievements, so you'll be free to blitz through Alan Wake 2's achievement list with infinite flashlight batteries and infinite ammo.
