I guess it's technically possible, but they would just have to program it in and you would be without the Xbox Live services and features and no PC/console cross-buy and cross-save.

As a fan of Remedys I'm really glad they're going to get some sales on this and keep their books balanced.
Felt shitty seeing their next project is a campaign for a chinese F2P MMO.

Do we even know if this steam will be a mess like on windows?

I hope that there is a pre-load option, but I'm probably going to buy retail anyway.

Windows 7 DirectX 11 in minimal requirements - we truly won this time.
Seems to support Windows 7 and up judging from the specs on the steam listing.
Really pleased Microsoft saw the light, or at least had their arm twisted enough, to see that the Windows 10 store was inherently tainted by early reception, and that Steam is still an open option to them.

Awesome!
You are in a very small minority of people. Blu Ray was never really adopted by the PC crowd, playback and compatibility being the major issue. Makes more sense for them to release on DVD when that is still the standard on PC for optical discs.

Awesome news! I really hope the other MS Play Anywhere games will follow suit, but this is definitely a good precedent.

Someone didn't paid attention when choosing their trailer :")
Sure, but that would be faster because it's using a different renderer, not because the executable is packaged differently.
Hmm, it mentions both DX11 and DX12, maybe it will have support for both renderers.

68GB required. Does that mean PC players aren't getting fucked this time regarding those dumb videos?

Since MS owns this IP, does this indicate at all that games like Gears and KI will come as well?
Hmmmm, I don't know - those video downloads even on console were 75GB alone.

I think a lot of people are hoping because it's on Steam, it won't have some of the issues? I have no idea. One can hope

I think they have finally allowed local downloading for videos, which is a smart move. I hope that they have much better encoding now.

Fucking hell the windows store verison left a bitter taste in my mouth and ruined the game for me with all of its issues. May have to give it another try with this if it proves to play better.

The retail edition looks good, it's a shame that I already have the game.
Lesson learned for Scalebound.

pretty funny really that it's so soon, win 32, dx 11 or 12, 68gb install (so no streaming movies?), potential for mods! quantum break - steam pc definitive version
still not that interested in the game but i may actually buy it just to help send a message, any store other than windows store plz

the problems with the renderer looked like they were centered around it being made for the xbone and hastily ported to UWP, i don't think porting it to win32 would fix anything on its own

Good news. I balked at the ridiculous 70 price it had in WS, and poor performance on Nvidia combined with UWP limitations really sealed the non-deal. Hopefully Remedy will get alot of sales this way since the game itself seems pretty solid, if not excellent.

I haven't played QB, are the ingame videos things that have to be prerendered, or would they be capable of being realtime in-engine cutscenes?

Oh, lol. Well certainly hope so, or that is included as DLC in the game's tab.
I just finished this a couple of days ago on PC. Great game. Hopefully by the time this releases on Steam they've ironed out a few more of the bugs. It's not bad any more, but there's still a bit of room for improvement.
They should put KI on Steam, too. I think even if it required Xbox Live to play MP it would still grow the userbase by a bit.
Hope so, but it may be because it's a SP game with no implications on Xbox Live or MAU.
