Microsoft has announced that it will start to distribute "hit action game" Quantum Break to Windows PCs via the popular Steam Store starting from 14th September. Simultaneously the firm will launch a premium packaged 'Timeless Collector's Edition' of the game to retailers, at the same price of EUR/USD 39.99.
Quantum Break on Steam and Windows 7 or newer
You can only currently purchase the digital edition of Quantum Break via the Windows Store and Xbox Store. However, from 14th September Microsoft says that Quantum Break will be made available "to more gamers across a number of operating systems when it hits Steam next month".
At the time of writing only Xbox One consoles and Windows 10 PCs can play the game so what other OSes will it be open to? According to a Tweet from developer Remedy, it will be playable on systems running Windows 7 and up. A 64-bit version of Windows is still required.
