In April 2016 Remedy Entertainment released the action title Quantum Break and now, after seven years, the game suddenly disappears. Not that there are many who haven’t played the title or still have it on their shopping list, but it’s currently impossible to get hold of the game.

The game’s strange disappearance was noticed earlier this week when it disappeared without a trace from Xbox Game Pass. But now it’s also gone from Steam and the Microsoft Store, making it impossible to purchase the game.

However, Aaron Greenberg from the Xbox Marketing Team has made a half-baked statement. Accordingly, the game should return to Game Pass and the stores in the foreseeable future. The reason for the temporary removal are licenses that have apparently expired right now and need to be renewed. It is not yet clear which licenses are involved and when the game will return to daylight. Microsoft wants to inform you as soon as there is more information.

Quantum Break caused a stir at the time with its time manipulation mechanisms, but also incorporated live action scenes into the game, including actors such as Shawn Ashmore, Aidan Gillen, Dominic Monaghan and the recently deceased Lance Reddick, who we also know as Know the voice of Commander Zavala from Destiny 2.
