It’s worth pointing out thatQuantum Breakcame out as a flagship title during Microsoft’s Xbox One heyday, when the company was attempting to meld TV shows with video games to a substantial extent. This resulted in Remedy setting the game up as a hybrid of the two mediums, meaning it’s got a lengthy campaign that plays out alongside the events depicted in the show, making it quite unique in most respects.

Those who may have planned to give the 2016 AAA title a shot only to discover that it’s currently completely unavailable shouldn’t worry too much, thankfully. The game is now going through a set of issues similar to what led to thedelisting ofAlan Wakein 2017. In that instance, the problem was with the game’s licensed music, the rights to which were expiring at the time. Remedy has already confirmed thatQuantum Breakis bound to return to Game Pass as soon as possible, and this is likely going to happen with the game’s Steam and Xbox storefront listings too.
Microsoft recently confirmed theremoval ofQuantum Breakfrom Xbox Game Pass, so the situation was telegraphed well in advance, and the team in charge of the game’s Xbox licensing stated that efforts were being made to get the game back onto the service as soon as possible. With that in mind, odds are good that the downtime won’t be too long, what with the developer and publisher working together to get the problem sorted out.
SinceQuantum Breakwas supposed to be season oneof a bigger, overarching narrative, the game ends on a bit of a cliffhanger. Still, it presents itself as a stellar shooter with an engaging narrative, excellent graphics, and the sort of classic Remedy Entertainment combat gameplay that fans ofControlwill know and love, making it a worthwhile experience even today.
However, though a full-fledged sequel toQuantum Breakmight not be currently on the docket, thefuture looks bright for the Remedy Connected Universe. Indeed, the game seems to exist in the same universe asControlandAlan Wake, which means that the adventures ofQuantum Break’s Jack Joyce may end up being resolved in a wholly different title.
Quantum Breakis available on PC and Xbox One.
