Maybe this GoW 4 and Scalebound is a mistake? The text puts as if it were something known.

 

[morikaze]

I can only interpret this as them moving away from consoles. Any new Xbox console will be a PC, aka steambox.

Whatever this is it is great news for me because I really don't want to buy an Xbone for a few games. Hopefully Rare Replay comes to PC.

 

[Caffeine]

so whens halo lol

 

[Fox_Mulder]

So uh.... whats the trade in value for an xb1 these days?

Old fashion 900p

 

[Garrett Hawke]

I swear to god these better be on Steam and not *shudders* the W10 Store

 

[NeoRaider]

Wait they edited the article??

Quantum Break's PC edition is the latest in Microsoft's wider push to expand its games across console and PC. Games currently in development for both platforms includes ReCore, Sea of Thieves and Fable Legends.

 

[pizzacat]

GEARS TOO?


Damn that's crazy. Hey how's UE PC port going rod?

 

[Jawmuncher]

Wait they edited the article??

Yeah I think either someone slipped up on the reveal or was talking out of their ass.

 

[Thoraxes]

"Every Xbox One Quantum Break pre-order made through the Xbox Store or participating retailers will get you a download code for the Windows 10 version of Quantum Break and Xbox One backwards compatible version of Alan Wake’s American Nightmare."

Holy sheeeeiittt

MS is buying up some street cred from me with this move.

Huh?

 

[LKSmash]

"Every Xbox One Quantum Break pre-order made through the Xbox Store or participating retailers will get you a download code for the Windows 10 version of Quantum Break and Xbox One backwards compatible version of Alan Wake’s American Nightmare."

That's an insane deal. Big ups to MS

 

[SolidAwesome]

wow i knew it.
By the way QB was looking i knew it was PC footage.
Man MS should really try too keep games just for Xbox one fans so its fair.

 

[jiggles]

Smart. But as someone with all the consoles and a gaming PC, the increasing redundancy of the former is a bit of a double-edged sword.

 

[The Broken Ska Record]

And still no Gears UE on PC.

 

[King Gilga]

Huh, good on your for actually making due on your PC promises I guess.

But now I have absolutely zero reason to ever want an xbox one, but I guess I'll be in your system anyways because of the windows 10 store since these will probably be exclusive to it.

 

[Discotheque]

Lmaoooo they edited the article smh

Oh well, still very hyped about quantum break

 

[Nzyme32]

Scalebound is not listed in the article...

 

[Phamit]

They edited the article, Scalebound and GoW4 has been removed

If it was true probably Gamespot wouldn't be the only source on this news

 

[Backfoggen]

Old fashion 900p

How excited are you now bro?

"Every Xbox One Quantum Break pre-order made through the Xbox Store or participating retailers will get you a download code for the Windows 10 version of Quantum Break and Xbox One backwards compatible version of Alan Wake’s American Nightmare."

Hell yes, that means when I build my PC later this year I'm not stuck with the technically inferior version. All these games should be cross-buy imo.

 

[Rocketz]

Yeah the news didn't seem quite right to announce those other titles on the day an embargo dropped for QB.

 

[Can Crusher]

Pretty much means Xbox One doesn't have a big enough install base.

 

[HeWhoWalks]

I didn't see anything in the link about Gears 4 nor Scalebound. Am I missing something?

Edit: Never mind. Confirmed mistake.

Still, Quantum, Day 1 on PC?! Me likey!

 

[Whompa02]

So at this point, the Xbox One has Halo 5 as an absolute exclusive? What's actually left to the console?

edit: never mind then. These news outlets are really not that great.

 

[Pie and Beans]

Got my hopes up about Scalebound

Already had to pay the Platinum Ticket price (console purchase) for Bayonetta 2, keep hoping I'll be able to dodge another.

 

[Piccoro]

Wait they edited the article??

Yeah, it said Scalebound a few minutes ago, I saw it!

False alarm people, move along!

 

[Dead_Pixel]

Amazing news. So glad I decided to go PC + Nintendo this generation. Thanks to Microsoft sticking to their claims of PC support, the only games I'll miss out on will be a few PS4 exclusives.

Edit: OK. So that was a mistake then!? Still pleased to see Quantum Break though.

 

[eFKac]

Well that's a bold move.

I guess ecosystem > hardware.

 

[family_guy]

Are Xbox One exclusives just not bringing home the bacon by themselves I wonder?

I think MS cares more about getting people on Windows 10 than selling more Xboxes.

 

[Thoraxes]

Old article snapshot:

 

[Gaogaogao]

HOLY SHIT

 

[Spaceking]

Excellent news!

But we need to know what are the actual PC ports.

 

[NIGHT-]

I swear to god these better be on Steam and not *shudders* the W10 Store

They gotta push the Windows 10 store, I doubt any of these will come to steam

 

[Tommyhawk]

Holy shit, this is great!

Seems like MS actually didn't lie this time (so far) about bringing more content to us PC gamers.

 

[suddenlyissoon]

Well I guess I'm going to be buying it digitally. I'd love to have it on both.

edit: After reading some other articles, they imply that "participating retailers" will offer this deal as well. I hope Amazon/Best Buy will be one!

 

[Fox_Mulder]

Old article snapshot:

well well well

 

[Thoraxes]

Well I guess I'm going to be buying it digitally. I'd love to have it on both.

"Participating retailers" indicates to me that it'll be a code e-mailed to you after you purchase a product or your order is shipped.

Digital will work too though, if that's how you like to purchase games.

I'll be buying an XBO physical copy and redeeming my Win10 copy hopefully.

Edit: Aw shit, just read the MS article that clarifies the wording whereas the post on Remedy's site doesn't. PC only it is... I guess?

 

[Ethelwulf]

rip xbone

It looks like it, right? Going to be interesting what happens in the upcoming years.

maybe an xbox two before than expected

 

[leatherhat]

Very nice, I didn't want to buy an xbox in the off chance scalebound was good.

 

[Radec]

PC only gamers rejoice!

bold move by MS

 

[slash3584]

Holy fuck YES!

 

[Infernostew]

Wow. Was not expecting the PC port so soon. Probably saw the impending bomba and wanted to cushion that blow.

 

[Unai]

Someone should edit the thread title.

 

[PhaZZe]

people should look recommended specs for quantum break, and then think if you are really selling a xbox one

Spoiler

IM In for PC version

 

[petethepanda]

Awesome news! Glad they're realizing being on PC as well won't make a difference for the majority of Xbox owners, it'll only help the games sell even more.

 

[wrowa]

They edited the text, but didn't post a correction? I hate to do this, but yay, game journalism.

 

[Vanmunt]

Nothing against the XBOX1 but I skipped it this time around for a gaming PC, so I am really happy at this news.

 

[mikemandey]

I only have PS4 and PC so this is a very good news for me! YESSSSSS

 

[knitoe]

Damn it, now, I have to cancel all my Amazon X1 pre-orders. I'll take the better performance over saving $12 each.

 

[Omnistalgic]

Cool, now next time I upgrade from my Mac I'll likely go PC to play some of the exclusives I miss out on.

Great move from MS, I never felt we need all these consoles doing the same things, each platform needs to bring something new to the table. This PC route MS seems to be taking Xbox is cool, maybe the next Surface will be a gaming PC
