Microsoft Studios and Remedy Entertainment are happy to announce that they are bringing their hit action game Quantum Break to even more Windows PC gamers on September 14 with the retail release of Quantum Break: Timeless Collector’s Edition and the digital release of Quantum Break for Steam.

Currently available for purchase in the Windows Store and Xbox Store, Quantum Break will be made available to more gamers across a number of operating systems when it hits Steam next month. This digital download will include all of the latest updates, a list of which can be found on the game’s official site. Starting today, both the Quantum Break: Timeless Collector’s Edition and Windows Store version are available for $39.99. This is the perfect time to grab a digital copy of Quantum Break for PC.

For those Quantum fans that want something to hold close as time unravels around them, we’re excited to unveil a special edition of the game coming to retail channels thanks to a partnership with our friends at Nordic Games. This showcase-worthy collection will be released as the Quantum Break: Timeless Collector’s Edition and will retail for EUR/USD 39.99. As with the Steam version of the game, this will include all of the latest updates to ensure you get the ideal Quantum Break experience right out of the box.

“After having worked with Remedy on the PC version of Alan Wake in 2012, and with Microsoft Studios on Ori and The Blind Forest: Definitive Edition (2016), and State of Decay: Year One Survival Edition (2016), we are proud to announce a new triangle-collaboration with two of our trusted partners”, said Reinhard Pollice, Business and Product Development Director for Nordic Games. “Apart from being a new IP (which is always a brave step), Quantum Break turned out to be a sophisticated, visually stunning shooter with a top-notch cast of actors.”

The retail version of the Quantum Break: Timeless Collector’s Edition will cost EUR/USD 39.99 and includes:

Premium packaging
5 Game Discs (one-time Steam key redemption required)
Making of Blu-Ray

Wise decision. Hope this is just the beginning.

WE DID IT

Seriously though, this is such good news. It's actually a really good game, and Steam will almost certainly provide a nice shot in the arm for the sales figures.

Boom, guess this is happening cause Remedy is involved too, don't see Gears 4, Forza Horizon 3 or other Microsoft first party exclusives release on Steam after a few months

Maybe, maybe not. At the end of the day they want to sell games, and the Windows 10 store is clearly not panning out to that end.

Yeah, i'd imagine the same stuff that was hitting PC before MS's initiative with the windows 10 store will eventually hit steam, but Halo and co. won't.

I'm not sure if they want to sell games as much as they want to push the Windows 10 store, at least looking at it from a global Microsoft point of view.

Which is why I expect that new games will remain at least timed-exclusive before they might or might not get a Steam release later down the road.

Well, I suppose I got the UWP version for cheap. Here's hoping performance is improved. I will definitely buy it again if it is. Somehow it runs substantially worse on my new PC (i5-6600K, GTX 1070, 16GB DDR4) than it ran on my old one (i5-4670K, GTX 970, 16GB DDR3.) Truly baffling.

It probably bombed big time on Win 10 store. Or this is something Remedy demanded when signing the contract. Anyway, day 1 for me.

Wonder if this'll be a half step to prevent all the games from comepletely bombing until they get their shit in order with the W10 store.
