Quantum Break to leave Xbox Game Pass soon, leaving fans puzzled
Xbox Game Pass subscribers may want to hurry up and play Quantum Break, as the game is reportedly set to disappear from the service soon. This is surprising given that the game was published by Xbox Game Studios, and titles published by Microsoft typically remain available on Game Pass, for obvious reasons.

Remedy Entertainment's Quantum Break is an action-packed shooter that combines gameplay with episodes of a TV show. The game was released in 2016 and received positive reviews from both critics and fans. However, the game appears to be leaving Game Pass soon, according to the app's "Soon to be unavailable" section.
clear
The reason for Quantum Break's removal from Game Pass is unclear, but it is worth noting that Microsoft owns the intellectual property (IP) of the game so an expired license isn´t why. Years ago, Remedy Entertainment revealed that Microsoft had decided not to make a sequel, which disappointed the studio. Remedy stated in a 2018 interview that it learned from this experience and decided to keep the IP rights for future games such as the critically acclaimed Control.
sequel
Shawn Ashmore, who played the game's protagonist Jack Joyce, recently expressed his desire for a Quantum Break sequel. However, given that Microsoft owns the IP and the game is leaving Game Pass, a sequel appears unlikely to be made anytime soon.
time
If you have a Game Pass subscription and want to play Quantum Break, now is the time to do so before it is removed from the service. In terms of the franchise's future, it's unclear whether we'll see a sequel or any other continuation of the Quantum Break universe.
