Quantum Break is a singleplayer third-person shooter developed by Remedy Entertainment with assistance from Asobo Studio. Xbox Game Studios served as publisher for the digitial version while Nordic Games published the retail release.
The game was first released via Microsot Store on April 5, 2016 and later via Steam on September 29 of the same year. The Steam version generally delivers improved compatibility, stability and performance compared to the Microsoft Store version, see Version differences.
The PC version only allows streaming the live action episodes. They cannot be downloaded (as on Xbox One), thus it is not possible to view them offline or with a slow internet connection.[3]

Issues fixed
Live action show plays too fast
- On Windows 11 the game suffers from a bug that causes the live action show to play unrestricted, causing sped up video and garbage audio.[19]
Update Windows 11 to build 22621.1194 (KB5022360) or later[20] |
---|
Jack wearing an eyepatch
- Playing the Microsoft Store version while signed out of the Store app triggers this issue.
Open the Store app and sign into the Microsoft account that owns the game before playing[21] |
---|
Nvidia SLI support (Steam version)
- SLI support can be set manually for the Steam version (up to 95% scaling).[22]
Use Nvidia Inspector[22][23] |
---|
|
CPU doesn't support POPCNT instruction
- If your CPU doesn't support the POPCNT instruction, then your CPU is below the system requirements of this game. Still, with the below workaround, you might be able to run the game. Still, expect the game to run poorly on your PC.
- Although the developers state that POPCNT instruction is required[24] to run the game, in reality this is not true, at least for the Steam release.
- For Windows Store version see this workaround
Remove POPCNT check in rl_x64_f.dll[25] |
