Quantum Break<\/em><\/a><\/span>, Remedy Entertainment\u2019s ambitious 2016 video game\/TV show hybrid, is back on Xbox Game Pass after a brief removal from digital stores due to a licensing issue. This is good news, particularly if you want to see a great Lance Reddick performance.<\/p>\n

Published by Microsoft and made by the studio behind Max Payne <\/em>and Control<\/em>, Quantum Break<\/em> is a third-person action-adventure game that mixes superpowered shooter gameplay with TV-show-style storytelling. Starring Shawn Ashmore and featuring some goated talent such as The Wire<\/em>\u2019s Aidan Gillen, Amelia Rose Blaire (Cyberpunk 2077<\/em><\/a><\/span>‘s Theo Price), <\/strong>Courtney Hope (Control<\/em><\/a><\/span> protagonist Jesse Faden), Dominic Monaghan from the Lord of the Rings <\/em>films, <\/strong>and the late Lance Reddick<\/a><\/span> (Destiny<\/em>\u2019s Commander Zavala), Quantum Break<\/em> is this experimental game that told a tight, compelling narrative about the consequences of time travel. Yeah, the shooting at its core wasn\u2019t particularly great, a middling replica of Gears of War<\/em>\u2019s tried-and-true cover-based mechanics, but it was elevated by other things the game does really well, great character interactions and satisfying time-based powers among them. There\u2019s also a four-episode Syfy Channel-esque TV series baked into the game, which changes in some ways depending on your in-game actions. In that sense, Quantum Break<\/em> feels like something of a callback to the FMV games of the \u201890s but for more modern audiences.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Quantum Break<\/strong><\/em> is so back after a temporary removal<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Unfortunately, as GameSpot<\/em> reported earlier this month<\/a><\/span>, Quantum Break<\/em> was facing at least a brief removal from Game Pass. Folks were curious why a game that was published by Microsoft and thus console-exclusive to Xbox (though also available on PC)<\/a><\/span> would become unavailable on the company\u2019s subscription service. In response to one fan\u2019s inquiry, Xbox Games\u2019 marketing vice president Aaron Greenberg said on Twitter that some licenses were set to expire, and the game would be back on Game Pass as soon as they were renewed.<\/p>\n

A console staple<\/strong>
Because the Xbox Series S is $30 off, you can put that $30 towards storage, an extra controller, or the Xbox Game Pass\u202fUltimate.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

And yep, Quantum Break<\/em> made its way back to Game Pass on April 26 on both PC and Xbox. And since the third-person shooter isn\u2019t exclusive to Microsoft\u2019s ecosystem, you can also scoop it up on Steam for $40<\/a><\/span> if that\u2019s your thing.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Come for the shooting, stay for the Reddick<\/strong>

There are a few reasons to play Quantum Break<\/em>: the engaging narrative, the (mostly) competent shooting, the cool-ass time-bending powers. Adding to that pile is Lance Reddick\u2019s performance, which slays the house down boots. Reddick portrays Martin Hatch, the face of the time-research organization Monarch Solutions. Without delving into spoiler territory here, Reddick brought his signature charisma to his portrayal of the enigmatic Hatch, giving him a depth that makes the character all the more relatable by the game\u2019s end.<\/p>\n

Reddick, who passed away earlier this year<\/a><\/span>, has appeared in a couple of video games besides Quantum Break<\/em>. Perhaps most famously, he can still be heard as Commander Zavala in Destiny<\/em>, where developer Bungie has promised there is more Reddick to come<\/a><\/span>. He also has a significant role as the mysterious friend and foe Sylens in both Horizon<\/em> games.<\/p>\n

Quantum Break<\/em> remains a fascinating experiment in video game storytelling, a game for the binge TV era. Whether or not it was entirely successful remains debatable, but it did help propel Remedy Entertainment to its award-winning action-adventure game Control<\/em>. And hey, Remedy is now working on Alan Wake 2<\/em><\/a><\/span>. We know Alan Wake<\/em>, Control<\/em>, and Quantum Break <\/em>all share the same universe<\/a><\/span>, so who knows? We may see some of Quantum Break<\/em>\u2019s distinctive storytelling techniques or gameplay elements resurface in the future. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
