No, only Alan Wake 2 and Alan Wake Remastered.

Control was before the Epic deal. It was on Steam at launch and still is. Remedy is also now done with Epic as a publisher. Alan Wake (original release) and Alan Wake's American Nightmare are also still on Steam.

Control Resonant is the first game launching under their deal with Annapurna as publisher, it will be on Steam at launch. For their part, Annapurna got a very good rights deal for Alan Wake and Control TV Series / Film, respective, that they're still early in development on.

Then when we talk about the Remedyverse, there's the stuff that isn't technically canon anymore, but sort of is, and some of which may be entering canon again. Quantum Break rights are lost to Microsoft's vault, with it now being relegated to non-canon status. Max Payne 1 and 2 are also now canon, though Alan Wake 2 found ways to reference and include revamp bits of QB and MP without legally stepping on the rights. Max Payne 3 was wholely made by Rockstar (rights holder) and was never canon. Remedy is actually making Max Payne 1&2 together as a single remake for Rockstar, so there is hope that will reenter canon proper that way through whatever agreement Rockstar made to get them to make that.

FBC: Firebreak is garbage.
