Remedy Entertainment made a splash with CONTROL Resonant, which showcases some of the studio’s finest work. But that’s far from being the developer’s only hit: it garnered a peerless reputation for delivering incredible games, though it does have the occasional miss.
For the most part, the studio seems to top itself every few major releases, and outside of CONTROL it has famous franchises such as Max Payne and Alan Wake under its belt. In many ways, Remedy’s best game is always the next one.
We’ve listed all of Remedy’s games below and where you can find them, whether you’d like to support the devs or just experience more of its excellent portfolio. The list is ordered by most recent to oldest, and asterisks indicate platforms that were added after release.

Max Payne 1 & 2 Remaster (Upcoming)
- Platforms: PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S
The next item announced on Remedy’s list is the remaster of the first two Max Payne titles. They were tremendously big in the good old days of the PS2, and given what the developer has done with CONTROL Resonant, these are bound to be as amazing as their original iterations.
CONTROL Resonant (2026)
CONTROL Resonant is the high-octane sequel to 2019’s CONTROL, continuing the story from protagonist Dylan Faden’s perspective and advancing the narrative involving the Faden siblings and the Federal Bureau of Control (FBC). We called it “mind-bendingly magnificent” in our review, and it’s more than earned a nine out of 10 from us.
FBC: Firebreak (2025)
This three-player coop FPS set in the CONTROL universe failed to find a large audience. Destructoid’s own Scott Duwe called Firebreak‘s gameplay “pretty unremarkable” in our review, adding that its biggest weakness “may be in its lack of variety.”
The game had a permanent price markdown to $19.99 with its final update in 2026, lowering the barrier to entry considerably. If you’re itching for more CONTROL, this might be worth picking up, especially on sale.
Alan Wake 2 (2023)
- Platforms: PC (Epic), PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S
A sequel 13 years in the making, Alan Wake 2 expands the Remedyverse and picks the story of Alan Wake back up. It’s not like I, a writer, spent over a decade waiting for the amazing sequel to a game about a writer. But hey, at least they made CONTROL in the meantime.
Alan Wake 2‘s exclusivity to the Epic Games Store is a constant topic of debate, and there’s a collective notion that Remedy could probably print money by putting the game on Steam as well. Given Resonant‘s sales performance, it’s hard to argue against it.
CrossfireX (2022, co-developed with Smilegate)
- Platforms: Xbox
Remedy contributed the singleplayer campaign to the late FPS CrossfireX, which shut down on May 18, 2023 after failing to capture an audience or get positive reviews from critics.
CONTROL (2019)
- Platform: PC (Steam, Epic), PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X | S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch*
CONTROL stood out for its compelling narrative and excellent gameplay, introducing the audience to Jesse Faden and the FBC. Its “government agency for the paranormal” atmosphere is enthralling, and the well-written characters and captivating combat led us to give it a nine out of 10.
Quantum Break (2016)
- Platforms: PC (Steam), Xbox One
Quantum Break draws attention for its time-fracturing theme and star-studded cast, featuring Dominic Monaghan (The Lord of the Rings Trilogy) and Shawn Ashmore (The Boys, The Rookie). This game is often on sale on Steam, so you have plenty of chances to snag it at a 75 percent discount or more.
Alan Wake and Alan Wake’s American Nightmare (2010/2012)
- Platforms: PC (Steam), Xbox 360
- Remastered Platforms: PC (Epic), PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch
After his wife was kidnapped by a mysterious creature, a blacked-out Alan Wake regains consciousness but can’t recall the past days. He finds pages of a signed manuscript he doesn’t remember writing, and the riveting story takes a turn when the events he wrote start coming to fruition. The game received a remaster in 2021, which is available in multiple platforms but exclusive to Epic on PC.
American Nightmare (2012) is heralded as a standalone experience that ties into the larger Alan Wake universe, but has a more arcade-y feel to it.
Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne (2003)
- Platforms: PC, Xbox, PS2
Max Payne 2 is the last title in the famous franchise with Remedy’s involvement, with Rockstar developing the third game. Payne returns to the NYPD and stumbles upon Mona Sax—a woman who was supposed to be dead, but holds the answers to deep questions from his past.
Max Payne (2001)
- Platforms: PC, PS2, XBOX, Game Boy Advance, iOS*
A classic from the good old days of the PS2, Max Payne is a thrilling story about an undercover cop framed for murder that captivated audiences thanks to its Matrix-esque bullet time sequences, which were all the rage in the 2000s. Remedy writer Sam Lake loaned his face to Max, which is why he seems so familiar—as much as PS2 graphics could, anyhow. But older gamers will remember that back in the day, these were state-of-the-art graphics.
Death Rally (1996)
- Platforms: PC (Steam*), iOS*
The original version of this explosive top-down racer is available for free on Steam, but its 2012 version has a small price tag of $9.99 on Steam—though it often goes on sale for 90 percent off.
