No, Max Payne is officially not part of the Remedy Connected Universe, which currently encompasses titles like Alan Wake and Control. Even though Remedy created the original two Max Payne games, the intellectual property rights were sold to Take-Two Interactive many years ago. Because of copyright and ownership boundaries, those initial games and their continuity do not cross over into the shared narrative lore that Remedy has since built for its newer properties, despite occasional nostalgic easter eggs or thematic nods found in subsequent releases.
