Quantum Break is a time bending third-person shooter from Remedy Entertainment, known for Alan Wake and Max Payne. Quantum Break promises to be a visual feast for Xbox One owners, but PC owners will be able to push the resolution all the way up to 4K resolution — if you have the hardware for it.
Quantum Break will join the likes of Rise of the Tomb Raider as Microsoft starts bolstering the Windows 10 Store's PC game offering. It'll also arrive as a cross-buy title for those who pre-order Quantum Break on Xbox One, complete with Xbox integration, meaning you can take your story progress from PC to Xbox One and vice versa. Additionally, those who purchase Quantum Break on Xbox One will also receive the Xbox 360 version of Alan Wake and all of its DLC for Xbox One's backward compatibility.
