Quantum Break wasn’t released in a particularly good state on the PC. Gamers with high-end rigs have reported experiencing a ton of performance-related issues with the game, which was originally developed for the Xbox One and released simultaneously on the PC, where the game is exclusive to the Windows Store and only runs on Windows 10.
This weekend, Remedy and Microsoft are releasing Title Update 2 for Quantum Break on the PC intended to address some of these problems.
In addition to all the fixes listed below, the patch will also include options for grain and upscaling, as well as an option to quit the game in the main menu—an oversight that was obviously the result of the game’s Xbox One focus.
