Remedy comments on Quantum Break license issues

Quantum Break has officially been delisted from Xbox Game Pass, as well as all digital storefronts the game was available on. Microsoft commented on the situation earlier this week, confirming licensing issues at play. Now, Remedy has also released its own statement on the situation. 

A Microsoft spokesperson confirmed earlier in the week that Quantum Break was leaving Game Pass due to licensing issues. At the time, we thought that the game would only be removed from Game Pass, but it has also been pulled from digital stores. If you already owned the game, you can still download it and play, but if you don't own the game, there is currently no way to buy it digitally.

In its own statement on the matter, Remedy said that Quantum Break “will be coming back”, adding that it is being “temporarily removed due to some licenses that expired that were in the process of being renewed”. It would seem that Remedy and Microsoft were already aware that this date was coming and had already proactively begun working towards addressing it.

We still don't know how long Quantum Break will be unavailable for, but it should return in a few months time. Alan Wake was also temporarily removed from sale a few years ago due to licensing issues, which were resolved after several months.

KitGuru Says: Quantum Break may end up benefiting from its recent return to headlines. The game had essentially been forgotten over the last few years, but now, there may be some people interested in trying it out when it returns.
