<p><a href="http://ift.tt/RYgdX6">Quantum Break</a>, the time-bending action game that also has a TV component, is <a rel="nofollow" href="http://ift.tt/2aLQexY">out now on Steam</a>. Developed by <a href="http://ift.tt/1kNXeJj">Max Payne</a> and <a href="http://ift.tt/1tqyyr4">Alan Wake </a>studio Remedy, the game was initially released on <a href="http://ift.tt/1gvajmS">Xbox One</a> and Windows 10 <a href="http://ift.tt/1e8dJIN">PC</a> in April. A physical version of Quantum Break for PC, the Timeless Collector&#8217;s Edition, is also out now.</p>
<p>The game was already available on PC, but it was only sold through Microsoft&#8217;s Windows Store. Its Steam version and physical release were supposed to come sooner, on September 14, but more time was needed to master and manufacture the game&#8217;s physical copies, <a href="http://ift.tt/2c9RBqo">so it was delayed</a>.</p>
<p><p>Quantum Break&#8217;s new PC versions include &quot;all of the latest updates&quot; and sell for $40. The Timeless Collector&#8217;s Edition features premium packaging, a making-of Blu-ray, an artbook, and a soundtrack CD.</p>
<p>The Windows 10 version of Quantum Break<a href="http://ift.tt/22iDUWR"> had some issues at launch</a>. There are no Steam reviews available right now, but we&#8217;ll keep checking to see what people are saying. Another thing to note is that <a href="http://ift.tt/2aZGBvm">Quantum Break&#8217;s Steam version does not require Windows 10</a>.</p>
<p>More Steam releases for Microsoft games could be coming. In June, Xbox boss Phil Spencer<a href="http://ift.tt/23cQn0k"> talked about the company&#8217;s intention to ship more games on Steam</a>; this was before <a href="http://ift.tt/2bg5TYa">Quantum Break&#8217;s Steam version announcement</a>. It remains to be seen what other Microsoft games could be released on Steam.</p>
<p>Earlier this month, Microsoft kicked off its Xbox Play Anywhere program with<a href="http://ift.tt/1GlUQRu"> Recore</a>. As part of this, you can buy it on one platform&#8211;Xbox One or PC&#8211;and get access on both. </p>
<p>In GameSpot&#8217;s<a href="http://ift.tt/2bg5TYa"> Quantum Break review, </a>Peter Brown awarded it a 6/10, saying its &quot;gameplay is essentially divided equally between combat and hapless environment traversal.&quot;</p>
<p>He continued: &quot;Getting to the end of Quantum Break can be an interesting ride at times, but no matter how impressive the combat is, or how great the game looks, there&#8217;s no getting around the fact that it&#8217;s driven by a story with limited appeal and hindered by disappointing design decisions.&quot;</p>
<p>The game also has a TV component, which stars <em>X-Men</em>&#8216;s Shawn Ashmore and Dominic Monaghan from <em>The Lord of the Rings</em>. <em>Game of Thrones </em>actor Aidan Gillen and <em>The Wire</em>&#8216;s Lance Reddick also star.</p>
<p>Quantum Break<a href="http://ift.tt/2bCu7Im"> &quot;sold really well,&quot; </a>according to Microsoft, even beating the company&#8217;s expectations.</p>
