Quantum Break, the third-person time-bending collaboration between Remedy Entertainment and Xbox, is now back and available for digital purchase after being removed due to licenses that needed to be renewed.

The good news goes even further, with Quantum Break being added to PC Game Pass for the first time. Quantum Break was not previously available on PC Game Pass, with the title preceding Microsoft’s “Xbox Play Anywhere” initiative, where every first-party game with an Xbox and Windows PC version is available on both platforms through just one purchase.
Looking ahead, the developers at Remedy Entertainment are working on a number of games, including the long-awaited Alan Wake 2, which is currently slated to arrive at some point later in 2023.
Windows Central’s take
I really liked Quantum Break, so I’m glad to see that it wasn’t away for too long. PC Game Pass users can also play it for the first time, which is a neat bonus of Microsoft and Remedy working out the license problems. Hopefully this won’t be an issue again for a long time.
