The pre-order offer also applies for those who redeem a digital code purchased from participating retailers or from the Xbox One Special Edition Quantum Break Bundle by April 5, 2016.

Thanks @-lostrib-

Oh, and this

Thanks @nyadc

More here.

Win10 Exclusive FTW. :P

EDIT: This is really cool, I never got the DLC so this is a fine bonus for those like me buying the X1 version. :D

"As part of the announcement, Remedy also revealed the Xbox One version will include a full game download of Remedy's last game, Alan Wake, along with its two DLC add-ons, The Signal and The Writer."

lol , Told YOU ....

Awesome. Now I don't have to play it on the Xbone.

Great. thats the Only Console game i wanted and it came out same day.

Made my day.

We all knew it was coming but I was expecting it to hit PC several months or even a year after Xbox One. Microsoft is delivering on their promise of catering to PC gamers so far.

Also lol @XboxOne owners.

Indeed. Will get this on PC as well.

Edit: Also Cloud_imperium will be pleased :P

@khoofia_pika - Remember, i told you QB will be coming to PC some time back in one of my threads about why we buy Xbox One over PC ? Remember it? :P

HeHe

XBOX ONE sucks , confirmed officially lol. Thanks TC for the great news Heh

lmao xbone has no exclusives for 2016 now

TRUST ME, Scalebound will come for PC too lol.

Yeah, perhaps theres some truth regarding the next Xbox will simply be an appstore...

I need to upgrade my HDD at this rate with games coming out for PC.

980 Ti for recommended? Hot damn!!!! But as always, these requirements are bollocks. My SLI 980's are ready!

Thats great, was keen to play this one too

Also, system reqs:

Windows 10 exclusive, naturally...

Also, if you purchase the X1 version, you get the Windows 10 one for free.

Thats the only game exclusive for the Xbone that im remotely interested in. I would not say no to that.

PC gaming use to have incredable exclusives such as the Age Of Empire series.

Now pc gamers get excited by "support" that amounts to Xbox built, Xbox promoted ports.

Yaaayyyyyy!

Too Much High Requirement. GTX 760 as Minimum!!! are they out of mind and game is not even graphically very good.

hahahahahahahah

LEms cant catch a break.

Except we still get them. XCOM 2, Homeworld, Darkest Dungeons. We have Star Citizen that is hopefully coming early next year, Inner Chains that looks interesting, Unreal Tournament. We also got Fortnite, Kingdom Come Deliverance and many others.

Go troll elsewhere.

I already pre-order the digital version on Xbox One but I get Windows 10 edition for free, that's great, thank you MS and Remedy, your the best :P Looks like I'll be able to do the review for Xbox One and PC so this is a win win for me :P

Have you not heard Console exclusive is a thing now

@ghosts4ever: System reqs usually aren't accuarte.

Yes! That's the only console exclusive I was interested in.

Chill, the are inflated most likely. TW3 asks for a 7870 as a minimum yet I had no problems playing it at High and 1080p and maintain 30fps on a 7850 which is a notch below a 7870. I just had to set ''Foliage Visible Range'' to medium.

980 Ti will be max settings at 1440p and close to or around 60fps. May need to disable AA or some crazy performance hog that provides very little visual benefits.

It's slated to come out in 2017.

What if i get the Win10 version?

Do i get the Xbox version?

Yep, a multi-platform game. I think we knew that already.

My expectations are really low for this one. The TV episode integration sounds like a gimmick that will not end well.

lol speaking of strategy we just had Starcraft 2 Protoss xpac an Homeworld DOK (and XCOM 2), we also have Total War Warhammer, Battlefleet Gothic Armada, Blitzkrieg 3, Starcraft Nova Ops, Master of Orion 4 and a slew from smaller studios like Endless Space 2, Ashes of Singularity, Battletech etc to look forward to.

And didn't Age of Empires 2 had a new xpac recently? IIRC

Meanwhile, in console-ville...

One of the least surprising ports ever, but this provides yet more evidence that Xbox One is simply redundant to anyone who owns a gaming PC and can live without Halo. Sure, Xbox One still has some exclusives on the horizon, but at this point it's hard to figure out which first party games are actually going to stay exclusive.

Anyway, it's not really a bad thing; one less machine taking up desk space in the living room and more people have access to a great franchise. And it means QB in high settings and 1440p, which I look forward to!

Xbox games being released in PC is great. A greater audience will allow developers to take more risks in AAA games and to develop more innovative games for smaller audiences.

Hmm, Defiance?

This is actually quite crazy.

@davillain-: I know it is an awesome deal!

If any game deserve to be on PC. its this.

Its Successor of Max payne. this will do justice what rockstar failed to do with max payne 3.

I don't understand the hype around the game, so I don't really care. I'm guessing this is a mediocre/good game that gets way too much attention, as usual. Hope I'm wrong, though.

awesome. so if i preorder the digital xbone version i get the pc version too?

ReCore on PC

Scalebound 2017

now Quantum Break on PC

...

...

...

I feel like I wanna say something but can't quiet find the right words

And the identity crisis for lems grows larger...and thicker.

To be fair having an X1 is still worth it if you don't own a gaming PC.

Rough day for Lemmings.

@mems_1224: Indeed, here is a quote from the Gamespot article....I wonder what that last part means, about the saves....does the Win 10 version use the same cloud saves as Xbox One? If so that is pretty cool:

UPDATE] The Quantum Break website explains that people who pre-order the digital version of Quantum Break for Xbox One will get a free copy of the Windows 10 edition. This offer expires April 4. The game supports saves across Xbox One and PC, but there is no cross-platform play.

That's cool. Interested to see how much better it looks on PC, it already looked good.

If this and Scalebound come to GOG that would be amazing. But Microsoft really doesn't give two shits about true exclusives lol Xbox one will be the first console I don't buy in a few generations.

Microsoft realizes that there more money in software than hardware.

Thats why there company is worth more than 10 times SONY or Nintendo.

But honestly, don't ya think the SW meta game should take priority? lol :P

you polish that turd any way you can

Except he is right. Xbox is merely a side business for them. Nintendo pretty much lives off their video games and now that Sony's other more profitable businesses are struggling, they need the Playstation to be successful more than ever.

Microsoft is on the upswing and wants to encourage mass adoption of Windows 10.

Xbox is merely an afterthought to them.

There's still a caveat to this that greatly decides what I buy it on, if this won't be available on Steam and the Windows 10 store is a requirement, that's a pretty big deal breaker for me.

Did that end well?

I'm not interested in the show, so not sure if it's any good, but the game went F2P afaik, which doesn't exactly scream success.
