Only on Windows 10 and its store like Fable Legends? No other OS supported and other stores like Steam?
Preorder Quantum Break for Xbox One, Get Windows 10 version for free - also HW specs

Not if MS prevent you buying it because your GPU doesn't meet the minimum spec.
Literally?
I'm really happy, too. Max Payne 2 on my top 5 GOAT list.
Let's commit to this now, folks.
Unless they're just setting the bar high so people don't get their hopes up. Which, frankly, I'd be happy with.
Could be they outsourced it and it's a bad PC port
Arkham Knight all over againdarkinstinct
...lacks reading comprehension.
It a Microsoft IP, what do you expect? They want to push everyone to Windows 10, so of course no other OS. Especially since it works only with DX12. And they want to push their store, so it's a safe assumption it won't be available on Steam. Like other Microsoft IPs, for example Minecraft.
Hmm... no?
ROTR has a 980Ti as recommended spec and even then you won't have a locked 60FPS experience.
Windows 10 confirmed, but they haven't said if this is only ever a Windows Store exclusive.

We can rule out the bolded. The port is being made in-house:

Remedy tweeted that MS and Remedy are working on the port. No outsourcing here.
Depending on sales, I'm sure we'll see plenty more of these.

This would be awesome if they would do this to all their first party games. Buy the Xbox One digital version and get the PC version for free. Best cross-buy offer ever.
Nice move MS.

Remedy themselves are making this port. Given the specs and its internally developed......good lord this game is going to look crazy

Sweet, PC version it is. I'm hoping Crackdown 3 is the same deal!
Related to the topic, this Phil Spencer tweet is great:
You cancelled a pre-order for a game you want to play because someone else get's to play the game on Windows?

salty fanboys have less to crow about in system warzzzz
His follow up responses are great, too. Shutting down console warriors is really great to see. I like it and it's something I always wanted to see.
I'd expect more of a Rise of the Tomb Raider situation...

I mentioned this earlier. It also doesn't work the other way around, where a PC user isn't able to pre-order the game and also get the Xbox digital version, so calling this "cross-buy" isn't accurate at all.
I imagine that the free Windows 10 copy of the game for Xbox One digital pre-orders is only for a limited time because pricing on the console service and on PC will be different after a point. Generally PC games are cheaper, and they will probably have to conform to compete.
My guess is maybe the Universal Windows Store is not yet ready for QB April 5th release so they have to deal with codes and what not.
We'll have to see at the Feb. 25 event on when that launches.

Weird specs considering this is an XBO game.
Between this and Windows Store only, I'll probably wait a bit
Between this and Windows Store only, I'll probably wait a bit
for the Ukraine store.
I think he's talking about how the free W10 copy is only offered as a preorder bonus and not as a standard policy (as with ps4/ps3/psvita games).
Obviously you can't pre-order yet on W10, but even on release, if you buy it from the W10 store, you should also get it on the Xbox. It's all it that "vision" they've been preaching in the past couple of years.
I'm in agreement that this is the reason, but I hope this does become a thing in the future.

I would new CPU, which means new mobo, new RAM, new GPU.
Nope, fuck that.
Nope, fuck that.
What does that even mean? People alway complain PC version are downgraded because of console versions. then they finally make it worth and people still complain.

Sure... at 4K..
These are XBO games let's not forget...
I'm sure my 970 GTX @ 1080p will do just fine...
It means they are gonna switch regions on the store and buy the game new for more than half off, because not releasing on steam means no full price purchase for this particular individual.
But hey, at least they are open about their BS.
I think he was referring to the specs part because it was a dumb comment.

Interesting specs. Loving the DX12 support.
Errr, that's what I said.
Once the Universal Store rolls, it should all be based on an account license system, meaning they don't have to give you a code for the Windows 10 version.
That's probably the only reason they are doing it that way now, because XBO is not quite linked up with the Windows 10 Store.
Your 970 GTX won't run Tomb Raider anywhere near a locked 60fps @ 1080p unless you turn some settings down.
Heck, it might drop below 30fps at times with everything cranked.
Same here, finally some DX12 WOOT! Been waiting for this to happen for awhile, this is a huge gain for PC PC PC PC players.
Good luck.
Because if GTX970 can't run it maxed out in at least 1080p with locked 60 it's just lazy and badly optimised port. At least it seems to be how some gamers view PC versions no matter what said versions are bringing to table.
But why the code solution must be used only until the launch date? Can't they provide codes to those who buy the game until the Universal Store is up and running?
I don't see any reason why only those who buy the game until a set date are entitled to the free copy if their vision is to provide cross-buy functionality for every game.
Have a source?

Never said anything about 60fps...

Given how DX12 gives exclusive screen controll and everything almost to the dev, the game could conceivably support it.
It will be the first DX12 title beyond Ashes, which is very interesting. That is assuming KI is not DX12 (I hope it is though).
If the PC build turns out to be a gimped Windows Store version as with Tomb Raider, then the likelyhood of my buying it moves swiftly towards zero. It would also be a classic Microsoft move; the kernel of a good idea, implemented terribly.
He's probably talking about the Windows Store version of Tomb Raider and the inability to customise the game in any fashion. A lot of these are deal breakers for many people:
- No exclusive fullscreen option (causes problems with tech like multi GPU and variable refresh display technologies G-Sync and FreeSync)
- No way to add the game to Steam (no exe file)
- Can't tweak game files (ini changes or similar)
- No support for overlays (such as performance monitors, frame rate counters)
- No support for injectors (ReShade/SweetFX or similar)
- Can't disable Vsync

It's weird how a week or 2 ago I was having this type of discussion with my brother for how Microsoft could make Windows Store more used vs Steam. My conclusion was Microsoft having "cross-buying" ala what's happening with Quantum Break now. I just hope it doesn't continue creating some problems with modders.
Your response was to 60fps...so yeah, you directly responded to a comment that said 60fps.
You also said "at 4k"....when in reality, your response (which included a 970) is wrong...even at 1080p you couldn't do what the guy you responded to said.
