With both versions out on the same day, April 5. The PC release for the previously Xbox One exclusive may come as a surprise to some, but Remedy has always had a long history of PC gaming -- dating all the way back to the original Max Payne. Visually and technically, the developer is known for pushing the envelope, so Quantum Break on Windows 10 should look nothing short of spectacular.

In a very cool turn, if you pre-order the Xbox One version of Quantum Break, you'll also get a free copy of the Windows 10 edition and a copy of Alan Wake’s American Nightmare. Plus, every edition of the Xbox One version will get a free digital copy of Remedy's Alan Wake and its DLC add-on packs.

So, great value all around.

In addition to the PC announcement the minimum and recommended specs were also detailed, and they're definitely nothing to sneeze at.

There was also a new trailer for the game released, which is live-action in nature. But unlike other live-action trailers this one carries some weight as Quantum Break is an ambitious project that aims to blend an story-driven action game with that of a TV series. The time-bending nature of the mechanics and quality of the cast and crew involved in the live-action portion of Quantum Break make this one of most promising and interesting releases for 2016.
