Microsoft Studios has announced that Remedy's Quantum Break

Loading

Alongside news that the game had topped the UK all-formats chart this week, a spokesman said: “We are excited to announce that Quantum Break is now the biggest selling, new Microsoft Studios IP this generation.”That means it has eclipsed the opening week sales of the likes of Sunset Overdrive, Ryse: Son of Rome and Ori & the Blind Forest. It's worth remembering that Quantum Break is the only one of these games that released with an accompanying PC version, however.Other upcoming Microsoft Studios new IPs that will be aiming to beat that record include Platinum's Scalebound, Rare's Sea of Thieves and Armature's ReCore.In our review , we gave Quantum Break an 8.0, saying it's a "a stylish, often-exhilarating third-person shooter wrapped up in a tautly paced tale of time travel."
