Who likes free stuff? Everyone likes free stuff!
And that's why you'll be glad to hear that upcoming Xbox One exclusive game "Quantum Break" comes with a heap of free, awesome stuff.
Wait, you don't know what "Quantum Break" is? It's a third-person action game where you, the player, can slow (and occasionally stop) time. It's very pretty, as seen above. Okay, back to the awesome free stuff!
It's a bunch of games, and the first is a free Windows 10 copy of "Quantum Break" — a nod from Microsoft toward the interoperability between its Xbox One game console and Windows 10-based PCs. The game launches on both Xbox One and PC on April 5, and you'll have to pre-order the game through Xbox.com for the free PC version.
But there's more: you'll also get a free copy of "Alan Wake," an excellent, "Twin Peaks"-style game that originally launched back in 2010 on the Xbox 360.
No need to pre-order the game or anything — every copy of "Quantum Break" on Xbox One comes with a free digital code for the Xbox 360 version of "Alan Wake," playable on Xbox One through backwards compatibility.
But if you do decide to pre-order, you'll get yet another free game: "Alan Wake: American Nightmare," the follow-up to the original "Alan Wake."
So we're all clear, let's recap the full package for folks who pre-order "Quantum Break" on Xbox One:
- A copy of "Quantum Break" on Xbox One
- A copy of "Quantum Break" for Windows 10-powered PCs
- A copy of "Alan Wake," including all its extra downloadable content, for Xbox One
- A copy of "Alan Wake: American Nightmare" for Xbox One
Not bad at all!
Maybe you're so excited about "Quantum Break" that you're ready to outright buy an Xbox One to play it? There's also a new Xbox One console bundle. It's white, costs $350, and launches ahead of the game on March 29 (it comes with a digital code for "Quantum Break" that activates on April 5, when the game launches). Here it is:
But you wanna see the game in action, right? Of course you do. We've got the latest gameplay trailer right here (which is unfortunately from August 2015), which demonstrates the unique, time-manipulating abilities in "Quantum Break." Check it out:
