Aaron Greenberg mentioned on the MajorNelson podcast that Quantum Break is a Windows 10 Store exclusive and is not coming to Steam.

Dang, I hope they've reconsidered their treatment of W10 store exes because not being able to inject or modify anything is a joke.

Bessy67 · Feb 13, 2016

Of course it's only Windows Store, they're trying to build up their own store not support someone else's

Skyward Sheep · Feb 13, 2016

In a move that will not surprise absolutely anyone. They're doing the same with KI Season 3 on PC. And why would they want to support a direct competitor to their store? EA have been doing the same with their PC games and Origin for years now, works pretty well for them.

plasmawave · Feb 13, 2016

They really do care about PC gaming.

QuikNez · Feb 13, 2016

I can't see this being a big issue

bananafactory · Feb 13, 2016

Makes sense. Windows Store is their Origin, they want to push it with their products.

Corpekata · Feb 13, 2016

Not particularly surprising.

R3TRODYCE · Feb 13, 2016

Gah...I'll have to use that terribad Windows Store. I hope they get overlays working on games soon.

Card Boy · Feb 13, 2016

I can't run it regardless, one of those instances where I have to buy it on Xbox One.

FuKuy · Feb 13, 2016

FAIL. Very bad decision, they are repeating the same mistakes they did with Games for Windows LIVE!

Just take a look at Rise o the Tomb Raider W10 Store edition limitations.

soultron · Feb 13, 2016

Do you need Windows 10 to access this store? I know it's a dumb question but I don't plan to upgrade from 8.1 even if Win10 is free.

Nokterian · Feb 13, 2016

And i am out thanks but no thanks seeing how bad tomb raider is working on the windows store it is like i thought it would be GFWL 2.0 electric boogaloo.

NeoRaider · Feb 13, 2016

Not surprised. And i understand this decision.

DocSeuss · Feb 13, 2016

If the Windows Store wasn't horrible (viewing your library is awkward/unintuitive, you can only pick what DRIVE to install software on, and not get more specific, etc), that might be fine, but it is horrible, so it is not fine.

What are they?

OmegaTreeFish · Feb 13, 2016

Can you shortcut it to steam though so you can use steams features?

On their terms, sure.

Rich! · Feb 13, 2016

I'll buy it on the windows store, crack it, and shortcut via Steam.

No problem.

Wowfunhappy · Feb 13, 2016

This shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone. The entire reason MS has begun porting games to PC is to push the Windows 10 store.

Denuvo.

Poodlestrike · Feb 13, 2016

Figured. Guess that Steam subdomain isn't gonna turn out to be much of anything.

I'm okay with the win 10 store, and I suspect most other people will be too, but they really should look into making it more PC hardcore friendly. Mods, SLI, 3rd party programs. That stuff.

johnnydrama · Feb 13, 2016

Quantum Break coming to PC! Not on Steam?

ElBoxyBrown · Feb 13, 2016

MS wants more people on PC to join Xbox Live and use the Windows store. No surprise if it happens not just for Quantum Break but for every Xbox One exclusive.

Warxard · Feb 13, 2016

SHOCKER!!!!!!!!!!!!

QuikNez said:

Cant inject/modify the game, patch waiting is longer etc

thehillissilent · Feb 13, 2016

I actually don't mind. The only thing that sucks for me is lack of injection. However, I'd rather have their games on PC with crossbuy and play than not. I might have most of my titles on Steam, but I'm not all or nothing. If this is the sacrifice i have to make to play Xbox One games on PC, then so be it.

Yes, and also game is DX12 only, so you really need W10 to be able to buy it AND play it.

It requires DX12 which is Windows 10 exclusive.

Trying to force gamers onto W10 like they did with Halo2 and Vista.

Corleth the Fey · Feb 13, 2016

Can't wait to pay 6 pounds on the Ukrainian store for it.

It is as long as the W10 store and its apps are in their current state.

Everyone should be on W10. W7 is ancient now and W8 is just an inferior version of W10

Spirited · Feb 13, 2016

As long as it's universal apps I won't buy a thing from their store.

Atolm · Feb 13, 2016

GFWL part 2. I think I know how it ends.

Tagyhag · Feb 13, 2016

Well they better not bitch when it sells like shit then.

LostDonkey · Feb 13, 2016

It will eventually. They always do.

But yeah, not surprised really.

Knurek · Feb 13, 2016

Oh well, good luck with that, Remedy.

They should also sell it on Uplay and Origin, just for an additional kick to the nuts

Wowfunhappy · Feb 13, 2016

OmegaTreeFish said:

You can't modify the game at all—you can't inject better antialiasing or use ReShade, and you can't add the game as a profile to RadeonPro or nVidia control panel (although for the latter case, the game does respect nVidia Control Panel's global profile).

Rushersauce · Feb 13, 2016

Oh, look, another GFWL situation. This sure will end well.

Mohasus · Feb 13, 2016

The game requires DX12, so even if you could buy it, you wouldn't be able to play.

kurahador · Feb 13, 2016

PCgaf will still play it regardless of the distribution channel I'm sure.

/s

Shard · Feb 13, 2016

Good luck with that for they are going to need it.

Then good luck to them with that lol. I won't be buying anything off their store.

chrominance · Feb 13, 2016

Well, if nothing else, it makes my decision to keep my discounted XB1 pre-order easier. I don't have a ton of faith in the Windows 10 store right now, just based on how the last Games for Windows Marketplace adventure went, let alone the apparent heavy restrictions on Win10 Store games.

Knurek said:

Honestly, even that would be better. Just anything that's not at the mercy of Microsoft's whims.

oti · Feb 13, 2016

Surprise!
I just hope they'll put it on a reasonable sale once a while. That would be nice.

Mr Swine · Feb 13, 2016

I wouldn't mind if it was W10 store exclusive for like 3-6 months and then release it on Steam. But I guess that will never happen :/

Oreoleo · Feb 13, 2016

I don't necessarily disagree but let's call a spade a spade.

Pokemaniac · Feb 13, 2016

Shouldn't be surprising. Of course Microsoft isn't going to support someone else's store.
