Quantum Break – New patch adds G-Sync/FreeSync support, removes CPU limitation


Remedy has released a new patch for the PC version of Quantum Break. According to the changelog, this patch adds support for disabling V-sync (in other words, it adds support for G-Sync and FreeSync monitors), packs general fixes, and removes the SSE4.2, SSE4.1, SSSE3 limitation.

By removing the SSE4.2, SSE4.1, SSSE3 limitation, PC gamers can play the game on unsupported, below minimum spec hardware.

Remedy also claimed that while this update does not feature any performance improvements, it will continue to look into new hardware and figure out how to optimize Quantum Break for the PC.

This latest update can be downloaded from the Windows 10 Store, and you can read its changelog below.
