QR Codes or Quick Response Codes are a type of matrix bar code. You scan them with a compatible device and they will take you to a certain piece of content. While Alan Wake on the Xbox 360 did not have these codes, Remedy Entertainment decided to add them within the PC version of the game as Easter eggs. Below are the QR codes you can find in the game, where they can be found, and where they lead you.
