Quantum Break, the popular Xbox exclusive on consoles developed by Remedy Entertainment, will soon be departing from the Xbox Game Pass service, according to recent news.
The game had joined the service catalog in August 2018 and has since been a fan favorite. However, its days in the Xbox Game Pass are numbered, leaving many players puzzled as it is distributed by Xbox Game Studios.
The Xbox Game Pass application has already revealed that Quantum Break is currently in the section of titles that are leaving the service soon.
However, there is no exact date for its removal from the catalog, but it could happen by mid-April or even earlier. Although it is the only game in that section for now, Microsoft is likely to confirm other titles leaving the service next week.
So, why will the title leave the service despite being distributed by Xbox Game Studios? In 2018, Tero Virtala, the CEO of Remedy, had confirmed that the IP of Quantum Break is owned by Microsoft.
Thus, its departure from Xbox Game Pass remains a mystery. Nonetheless, the title will most likely return to the service in the future, but there is nothing confirmed at the moment.
Quantum Break had debuted as an Xbox One exclusive in 2016 and had exceeded Microsoft’s expectations with its sales results.
However, it seems that the game’s exclusivity to Microsoft consoles is coming to an end. Fans of the game can only wait for Microsoft to talk about it and give an explanation for its departure from Xbox Game Pass.
In conclusion, the departure of Quantum Break from Xbox Game Pass is a loss for its players, but it is not uncommon for games to leave the service after being available for some time.
Nonetheless, Xbox Game Pass still offers an extensive catalog of games to its subscribers, and its popularity continues to grow.
