THQ Nordic announced today that both the retail and the Steam versions of Quantum Break have been delayed to September 29th. The game was meant to be released on September 14th, however THQ Nordic needed some additional time for mastering and manufacturing the Quantum Break – Timeless Collector’s Edition.
As a result of that, THQ Nordic moved the game’s release to September 29th.
The Steam version of Quantum Break will support both DX11 and older operating systems (Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1).
“Quantum Break is part hard-hitting video game, part thrilling live action show featuring an interesting cast, including Shawn Ashmore as the hero Jack Joyce, Aiden Gillen as his nemesis Paul Serene, and Dominic Monaghan as Jack’s genius brother William.
Quantum Break is a storydriven third-person action game, in which your choices will affect the outcome of the fast-paced fusion between game and show.”
For what is worth, Remedy originally stated that the Win10 version of Quantum Break would not receive any additional patches. The company, however, later claimed that the Win10 version would be updated in order to be up to date with the Steam version.
Remedy’s Head of Communications, Thomas Puha, has not replied yet on our question whether the Win10 version will be patched in order to support DX11.

Bought it on W10 Store. If they’d give me a steam key, i’d play it again on a harder difficulty. Very good plot. Just bap optimization on dx12.

that sounds like copy-pasted from a press note.
It is, which is why it’s inside quotation marks
Not only quotation marks but in italic differently coloured font. It was pretty obvious what was going on…. sheesh.
so the steam version is published by THQ Nordic?
Physical retail version is.
so the steam version being delayed because some physical copy edition still not ready?
Ya, that’s what it sounds like.
I love delays. I know I’m in the minority here…
But, if they’re delaying it that means they’re fixing something instead of shoving it out the door. I’d rather wait an extra 3 months and have what otherwise would be patches included from the launch.
I’m hoping to play this if I can get it on a sale.
I love delays too, problem is, these days delays are mostly because the game is currently completely broken, & they’re trying to make it just slightly less broken in the allotted time they have left to them in order to reduce the amount of backslash they’re going to endure over the game being broken.
As such, fingers crossed it’s actually a good thing, but honestly, expecting it to be a bad sign regardless.
delay delay delay.. man ?
I wish we could go back to the days then games where finished and not delayed over 2-4 times
You’d rather them release it unfinished and broken? That sounds like a good time.
yeah it seems you didnt understand at all what I meant, but ok
Ah, I think I did. I understand now. I’m with you. I missed the word finished somehow.
Now if only they’d make the “show” episodes optionally downloadable for the PC version as well, like the Xbox One version also has them. I’m not interested into throwing money at something that has half the experience on some server that might go offline in a few years.
One of the most unoptimized games for PC.I doubt DX11 runs well.maybe multigpu support be implemented by AMD and nvidia.developers were too lazy to do that on DX12.
