Quantum Break

Engine

The game uses a custom, proprietary engine called Northlight, developed by Remedy.

Live-Action TV Episodes

The live-acting episodes that play during the game and slightly vary based on player's choices are not included on the game disc. Instead, they are streamed from the Internet, which may present a problem for people with slow Internet connection. While this is the only option for Windows Apps, the Xbox One offers a download of these episodes to avoid the low-bandwidth problem and the game can stream them directly from the hard drive.

Pre-order offers and bonus content

Anyone who pre-ordered the digital Xbox One version received the Windows 10 version for free, available through the Windows Store using a redemption code. It could also be acquired in the pre-order period through a number of retails and the Xbox One Special Edition Quantum Break bundle. This offer ran from 11th February 2016 to 4th April 2016. At the same time, every copy of the Xbox One version contains the following game and DLC as well:* Alan Wake (base game) * Alan Wake: The Signal (DLC) * Alan Wake: The Writer (DLC)

These are Xbox 360 versions, but can be played on Xbox One through Backward Compatibility. In addition, digital pre-orders and pre-orders at a number of retailers provide a full download for the Xbox 360 game Alan Wake's American Nightmare.
