Prices from Create PCs, the UK builder we run, and include VAT. They're the price shown on arrival, not a teaser, but components get repriced, so treat them as current rather than fixed. Custom-built machines start around £2,400; below that a self-build is usually the better answer, and we say so on our budget guides.
Official system requirements
Alan Wake II isn't sold on Steam, so we don't have Steam-published specs to display. Our 2026 hardware recommendations above are based on real-world performance testing and similar-title comparison.
Can your PC run Alan Wake II?
Check the manufacturer's launcher (Battle.net, Riot Client, Epic, etc.) for specific requirements, most live-service titles run well on a modern entry-level gaming PC.
