re-Order Quantum Break for Xbox One to Receive the Windows 10 Version at No Additional Cost

Xbox wants to empower gamers to play the games they want with the people they want on the devices they want, so Microsoft Studios and Remedy Entertainment will launch Quantum Break on Windows 10 simultaneously with the Xbox One version on April 5, 2016. Anyone who pre-orders the Xbox One digital version of Quantum Break through the Xbox Store, purchases an Xbox One digital token at participating retailers, or pre-orders an Xbox One Special Edition Quantum Break bundle, will receive the Windows 10 version of the game downloadable at the Windows Store via redemption code.*

For more details about the Windows 10 version of Quantum Break, including minimum and recommend hardware specs, please visit http://www.quantumbreak.com/windows10.

UPDATED Specs:

Save states are also shared between platforms.

Will there be shared progress across the campaign? Is there any cross-play opportunities between the Xbox One and Windows 10 versions?

“Quantum Break” will support shared saves between the Xbox One and Windows 10 versions. There is no cross-play functionality as “Quantum Break” is a single player action-adventure experience.

 

[Vuze]

These are some hefty recommended specs. Obviously don't tell much without knowing what sort of performance you'll get.

 

[The Flash]

Hmm. This might get me to go digital for once.

 

[KainXVIII]

DX12, yes!

 

[Alcoholikaust]

Oh man- I wanna wait and see if it ever comes to Steam...but

 

[robotrock]

Whoa!

 

[Garrett Hawke]

Wow, first DX12 title?

Wtf @ recommended tho

6GB VRAM?

 

[EatChildren]

Recommending the most powerful GPU on the market.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

There you go!! Good job, MS!

 

[Ninja Sharingan]

This is just amazing! Holy crap MS! Let's do this!

Pre ordering Digital as soon as I get home!

 

[shortsFortallPeople]

Alan Wake ran like a dream on PC but, yeah, sheesh. the recommended specs might be the highest i've ever seen

 

[bigkrev]

MINIMUM GTX760?!?!

 

[CryptiK]

Cross buy? YES Please!

 

[iNvid02]

that feel when you're no longer above the recommended specs

 

[JaggedSac]

Cool, it is cross-buy for the most part. Can't see this being only for preorders even after it is released. Especially if they bothered implementing cross platform saves.

 

[Ricerocket]

Those are some beefy specs.

 

[The Jackdog]

cross buy and cross save is fantastic.

 

[KainXVIII]

Wow, first DX12 title?

Wtf @ recommended tho

6GB VRAM?

Rise of Tomb Raider anyone?

 

[jim2011]

What do you guys think about my cdkeys preorder for the digital xb1 version? Think the code they give me will get me the Windows version too?

 

[Miles Quaritch]

If it's not linked to accounts, I'll give up my W10 code when the time comes.

 

[Kezen]

Now those are pretty beefy recommended specs....Holy crap.

 

[travisbickle]

Did not know this had online-multiplayer? Now with PC cross-play!

 

[spannicus]

Yeahhhhhh

 

[Bl@de]

Wow, those are some specs ... Pascal and Polaris need to hurry up ...

 

[Guymelef]

How the hell they recommend that minimum Specs that are better than a XBO?

 

[V_Ben]

Well, I'm looking forward to people selling / giving away their Windows 10 codes when the game comes out! Means I get to play it ^_^

 

[dancrane212]

My sense of vindication is growing...

 

[The Flash]

Looked at minimum specs. Nevermind. I'll stick with XB1. My rig can't run that unfortunately

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

The fine print: Free Quantum Break Windows 10 game offer valid with pre-order of digital copy of Quantum Break for Xbox One, by April 4, 2016.

 

[JaggedSac]

Why the hell would they bother with a redeemable token though? I could see for retail, but a digital purchase should just unlock it on your account. Have they not got their crap figured out yet?

 

[Red Hood]

980 Ti for recommended? Fuck

 

[ron_bato]

Lol i thought I would be able to play this on my laptop with a gtx 860m, yikes.

 

[BibiMaghoo]

980Ti? That is...heavy.

 

[The Jackdog]

Did not know this had online-multiplayer? Now with PC cross-play!

There is no cross-play functionality as “Quantum Break” is a single player action-adventure experience.

 

[Bl@de]

How the hell they recommend that minimum Specs that are better than a XBO?

Maybe the Xbox One is below the lowest settings or the specs target a higher framerate ... We will see

 

[Lys Skygge]

Those specs though 0.o

 

[DarthWalden]

This is fantastic!

The fine print: Free Quantum Break Windows 10 game offer valid with pre-order of digital copy of Quantum Break for Xbox One, by April 4, 2016.

Yeah. Only for preorder as it stands in the title.

 

[karma2578]

Unless there's a really cool collectors edition then I'll be going digital.. Great stuff ms keep it up

 

[lordfuzzybutt]

My 980ti is ready.

Oh, oooh.

 

[kruis]

It looks like the game will only be available on Windows 10.

 

[JayWood2010]

What is the Xbox One Special Edition Quantum Break bundle?

EDIT: Nevermind

Looks like i will be going digital with Quantum Break to get it on both PC and XBO xD

 

[0ptimusPayne]

So the question is, has all the footage they've shown been the PC or X1 version of the game? 0_o

Either way thats a cool deal, and will help MS push that Windows 10 store of theirs I'm sure.

 

[Backfoggen]

RIP 4k playing dreams

980Ti & Radeon Fury X

But, the Radeon Fury X only has 4GB....

 

[travisbickle]

.

could have put it in the same textbook in the OP. The first part reads like QB is the testbed for all this new stuff.

 

[Jarmel]

Those specs are insane. Guess it's the Xbone version for now.

 

[Tecnniqe]

Those recommended specs makes me fear its poorly optimized and you need to bruteforce it.

However if not, it must be a amazing looker.


Now to wait and see

 

[JaggedSac]

It looks like the game will only be available on Windows 10.

I don't think that has been confirmed.
