Quantum Break Confirmed for PC, DirectX 12 and Windows 10 Only

Microsoft and Remedy Entertainment have officially announced that Quantum Break is also coming to the PC platform, and they have also revealed the system requirements.

Microsoft has been dodging questions about Quantum Break on the PC platform like Neo in Matrix, but today they have unveiled that this new single-player action-adventure from Remedy Entertainment is also coming for the PC players.

The new information is not stopping here. The publisher really wants to show that this is an exclusive for their platforms and it's doing something that hasn't been tried for now. People who pre-orders the digital version of Quantum Break for Xbox One, through the Xbox Store will receive the Windows 10 version for free.

Moreover, this preorder bonus will also be available to people who redeem a digital code purchased from recognized retailers. The last day for this promotion is set for April 4, 2016.

Can I run it?

The system requirements for the game, especially the recommended ones are really steep, as you will probably notice. This is to be expected since it's a DirectX 12​-only title.

TL;DR: To recap everything that Microsoft revealed. The game is coming to the PC at the same time as the Xbox One version on April 5, it's a Windows 10-only title, it's a DirectX 12-only game, it's free for Windows if you pre-order the Xbox One version, and the recommended system requirements are prohibitive.
