Xbox Game Pass Update Brings Back Game That Was Removed Last Month

Xbox Game Pass has brought backQuantum Breakafter it was taken down last month. Fans were confused about the change, due to the factQuantum Breakwas published by Microsoft Studios, which makes it a first-party Xbox game. Previously, gamers have been told Xbox will never remove its own games from Xbox Game Pass.Xbox Game Pass was originally launched in 2017. In 2018, Microsoft announced that first-party titles would arrive at the service on their release day and thefirst game to receive this treatment wasSea of Thieves. Other games that received the same treatment since then wereForza Horizon 4,Crackdown 3, andState of Decay 2among others. Since then the platform further grew, adding extra services and games such as the basic EA Play service or Riot’s free-to-play games likeLeague of Legends. With all the added content, Xbox Game Pass has now become a successful product within Microsoft with an ever-rising income, as its quarterly subscription revenue now nears $1 billion. Therefore, Xbox is dedicated to keeping its users happy and avoiding disruptions, such as the one that occurred a month ago.RELATED:Alan Wake 2 is on Track for This Year, Says Remedy EntertainmentAfter a player complained aboutQuantum Breakbeing taken off Xbox Game Pass, Aaron Greenberg, Vice President of Xbox Games Marketing, provided an explanation. He said the game is being temporarily removed due to “some licenses that expired that were in the process of being renewed.” He also promised to let everyone know onceQuantum Breakis back on the service. After almost a month, today Aaron Greenberg announced on Twitter thatQuantum Breakhas been returned on both Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass and thanked everyone for their patience. Most commenters thanked Greenberg for the update and said they will continue playing the game.

There were also those who went a bit further away from the topic, asking aboutwhether there ever will be aQuantum Break2. Considering Remedy Entertainment’s CEO said in 2018 that a sequel is pending approval by Microsoft, there likely won’t be a further elaboration on that for a while.

Regardless, Xbox Game Pass users are likelyhappy to knowQuantum Breakis backamong the offered games, especially if they were in the middle of playing it. As for an anticipated sequel, there is no word on that front.

Quantum Breakis available on PC and Xbox One.
