Over the past few days, there’s been some confusion regarding Quantum Break and whether it’s leaving Xbox Game Pass or not – which it is, but only temporarily.
Initially released in 2016 for PC and Xbox One, Quantum Break is a narrative-heavy third-person shooter from developer Remedy Entertainment that quickly garnered a cult following. Earlier this week, whispers of the game leaving Xbox Game Pass spread like wildfire on social media. Which, understandably, left many long-time fans upset.
On Tuesday, developer Remedy Entertainment formally announced that, yes, Quantum Break will leave Microsoft’s subscription service soon – though it’s not permanent.
“Don’t worry, Quantum Break will be coming back to Game Pass,” Remedy Entertainment said on Twitter. “It is being temporarily removed due to some licenses that expired that were in the process of being renewed. We will let you know as soon as it is back.”

There’s no word on when Quantum Break will be back on Game Pass, though Xbox Games Marketing VP Aaron Greenberg said on Twitter that we’ll find out “as soon as it’s back” – a bit vague for our liking, but what can you do?
The folks at Remedy Entertainment appear to be quite busy these days between Alan Wake 2, Control 2, and those Max Payne remasters.
