Support NeoGAF

[Zia]

It's MS IP.

I understand that, but I'm wondering if this is something Remedy pushed for, as they seem to understand the community a lot better than Microsoft.

I guess we'll see when or if stuff such as Killer Instinct and Forza shows up on Steam.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

Do not expect Gears, Halo, and Forza to appear on Steam. MS needs to keep some incentive to use the Win10 store. I would be in shock if they threw the towel.

 

[T.O.P]

Yup, D1 hard

Love these phisycal ed. for PC games

 

[LelouchZero]

This is excellent! Hopefully this means that other Windows 10 Store games will come to Steam!

I wonder why they made this move, perhaps they're interested on seeing how their games sell on their store in comparison to their sales on Steam?

 

[DeathSparks]

Oh man the retail version is only $40 and comes with a lot of good stuff, might just get this instead of the digital version.

 

[Ricky Ricardo]

LEGIT SHOOK

Didn't see this coming, but will double dip for those steam cards :3

 

[GhostTrick]

Good, now I will buy it.

 

[FearlessBelgian]

Nice, I'm hoping for Forza Horizon 3 on steam next

Impossible...

Gears of war too ...

No chance i think...

 

[h0tp0ck3t]

glad this is happening. I thought it was a great game, good enough for me to power through the stupid memory leak problems I had and was never able to fix but that's probably something on my end

 

[thehillissilent]

Finally!!!! I hope that people can mod the game now. I'm glad that I waited on buying the WIN10 store version.

 

[jet1911]

Oh man the retail version is only $40 and comes with a lot of good stuff, might just get this instead of the digital version.

Wow it's a steal at that price.

 

[Polk]

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

I would imagine they don't have way to bind retail disc to your Microsoft Account. Using Steam solves that problem.

 

[xVodevil]

So there is, hope after all!

 

[Guymelef]

I wonder if this is thanks to some kind of clause after not perfoming well on XBO/W10.

 

[DeathSparks]

Impossible...

Gears of war too ...

No chance i think...

You never know, I don't think anyone predicted this would come to steam.

 

[danmaku]

Wow, I didn't expect that at all. Sales must've been beyond terrible on Win10 store.

 

[ducksauce]

Glad I waited.

Fingers crossed Forza Horizon 3 ends up on Steam at some point. Maybe wishful thinking though since Turn 10 is a Microsoft studio.

 

[Goose_Se7en]

Definitely worth a play people. For those without an XB1 and didn't want to use the Windows Store.

Yup. Folks need to play this title, most underrated and under appreciated title this year.

 

[Jawmuncher]

I understand that, but I'm wondering if this is something Remedy pushed for, as they seem to understand the community a lot better than Microsoft.

I guess we'll see when or if stuff such as Killer Instinct and Forza shows up on Steam.

It has to be a Rememdy push due to them not being first party devs. As you said unless we see KI, Forza, and others hit steam. That'll pretty much confirm it.

 

[Dsyndrome]

Good to hear, kind of wish I waited now.

 

[Gamezone]

Just release everything on Steam. It will undoubtedly sell more copies.

 

[Bits N Pieces]

But QB was published by MS. Do you mean not developed by their first party studios?

Yeah sorry, that's what I meant. Games like QB, Recore, Scalebound etc. Think they'll end up on Steam about 6 months after release. Their tent pole titles not so much.

 

[Theorry]

People thinking Forza, Gears etc coming to Steam now to. lol.
First party is gonna stay on W10 for sure
3rd party with owned IP. W10 first and then Steam
3rd party. Steam and W10 right away

Atleast thats what i think,

 

[Wagram]

Sounds like it's finally time for me to pick it up.

 

[Lactose_Intolerant]

This is excellent! Hopefully this means that other Windows 10 Store games will come to Steam!

I wonder why they made this move, perhaps they're interested on seeing how their games sell on their store in comparison to their sales on Steam?

Its sales are probably so low now that there is no advantage to try to keep leveraging it for windows store adoptions.

 

[yuraya]

They should have done this from the get go. Alan Wake has over 1.6 million owners on Steam. MS only hurt the sales of the game with their arrogance.

 

[leeh]

Wonder if this will be UWP...

 

[Fractal]

Knew it was just a matter of time, but didn't expect it this soon. Anyways, great news!

 

[Broadbandito]

People thinking Forza, Gears etc coming to Steam now to. lol.
First party is gonna stay on W10 for sure
3rd party with owned IP. W10 first and then Steam
3rd party. Steam and W10 right away

Xbox play anywhere games will stay UWP. I'm ok with it as long as they perform as well as apex. Plus the whole xbox/pc crossplay is pretty awesome and will give a much larger playerbase for FH3 MP, Gears Co-op/Horde etc.

 

[Dictator93]

holy moly

Nice, I guess I'll be able to play this down the line if I want to.

Do you like 60 fps at native 2560X1440? You may want to wait a few years.

 

[Bl@de]

Nice. Quantum Break finally for PC

EDIT: The real joke is -> The proper version will be 30€ less Yes Quantum Break costs 69,99€ on the W10 Store It actually is 39€ now. I take it back.

 

[hamchan]

Fantastic news.

 

[dancrane212]

Awesome news; more success for Remedy is always great!

Depending on the content in that blu-ray I might get the CE as well.

 

[Gav47]

In for that CE

 

[SEGAvangelist]

Wow, I didn't expect that at all. Sales must've been beyond terrible on Win10 store.

Well it's not like a game like this without MP or DLC has legs. Sales probably just came to a halt (on both XB1 and Win 10), so this is the next push for more sales. It'll probably sell a ton in Steam sales down the road much like Alan Wake. Hopefully the Steam version has a performance patch before release.

 

[hodgy100]

dammit i should of waited

 

[DeathSparks]

I just realized that Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 and Dead Rising Triple Pack launch exactly one day before this comes out.

RIP My Wallet

 

[SliChillax]

Glad I waited

 

[shandy706]

waiting for that $15 price point for this game tbh.

Still too much

Would have paid $100 for it and not regretted it.

Might double dip (triple sort of) have Win10 and X1 version.

 

[Zojirushi]

Also yeah, time for some people to actually dig into those files and find out what the hell went wrong with this port (unless that already happened).

 

[T.O.P]

Game is incredibly good lookin (at least on X1)

I'm hoping to be able to run it decently :/

 

[Theorry]

Beth is bae.

 

[Possumowner]

Hmm,do I double dip.Prefer gaming on PC and a decent price so I think I will

 

[Corpsepyre]

Will I need Win 10 for this though?

 

[thehillissilent]

Wonder if this will be UWP...

I don't think so according to this quote:

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

 

[Trojan]

Awesome news. I don't even have strong feelings about this game, but I'm just happy about the philosophical decision for MS to cave and release on another platform. The Windows Store combined with UWP is not a good representation of PC gaming. This went from a "know I'll never purchase" to a "potential steam sale purchase" at least.

 

[dr_rus]

That's unexpected to say the least. Will double dip when on sale. Should we expect all "2nd" party games to follow or is it just one off thing I wonder.

 

[abracadaver]

Day 1 for me to support more games coming to steam.

I hope it uses steamworks features like achievements and cloud saving etc. instead of launching the Win10 app

 

[LukasTaves]

Nice! Hope the game sells a ton!

One of the best games I've played and absolutely the best looking one.

 

[JaggedSac]

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

Bomb is probably putting it lightly.
