Microsoft seems confident that Quantum Break will be a hit, so I really hope the game manages to deliver when it launches on April 5.

That’s pretty damn generous no matter how you look at it. So you’ll not only get two copies of Quantum Break, you’ll also get two of the finest games of the previous generation thrown in for free. People who buy Quantum Break on Xbox One will be getting Alan Wake thrown in for free, while those who pre-order will get both Alan Wake and American Nightmare. Speaking of Alan Wake, it was also announced that it and kinda-sorta sequel American Nightmare are both getting Xbox One re-releases. Whether this is simply overestimating to play it safe or more indicative of a poor porting job is anybody’s guess right now, but for what it’s worth, Alan Wake’s PC port was great. To play Quantum Break, you’ll be needing some of the best hardware out there right now just for the recommended specs. Interestingly, you won't have to pay a cent extra for the Windows 10 version if you pre-order the Xbox One version. NVIDIA GeForce 980 Ti or AMD Radeon R9 Fury X 'Quantum Break' gets a release date, PC version, and Xbox One bundle. NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 or AMD Radeon R7 260x Intel Core i5-4460 2.70GHz or AMD FX-6300 processor Remedy has come out all guns blazing on this one, and has already confirmed the minimum and recommended specs you’ll be needing for Quantum Break:

It’s kind of like Sony’s cross-buy, but with Xbox One and Windows 10. What’s especially interesting is that those who pre-order Quantum Break on Xbox One (either digitally or the physical special edition) will also get a free copy of the game on PC.

Well not anymore, because Remedy and Microsoft have announced that Quantum Break is getting a simultaneous release for Windows 10 and Xbox One on April 5. I adored Alan Wake, so having to miss out on Remedy’s next game has been a bit of a bummer. They cant unlock cutscene framerate dont ask unreasonable demands before you even know what is video FPS and what is game FPS first. Not to mention the delay it takes for the frame rate to be unlocked again after the cutscene. Ever since it was announced, I’ve always been majorly jealous of Xbox One owners for having Quantum Break all to themselves. The jump down to 30fps for cutscenes is very jarring.
