Just wanted to post this here as the embargo lifted for the game a couple of minutes ago and Gamespot posted this.
"Xbox One title Quantum Break will also be released on PC, and both versions will launch on April 5, developer Remedy Entertainment and publisher Microsoft have confirmed."
Great news for us PC gamers as this personally is one of my most awaited games this year

GAME INFO:
Quantum Break is an upcoming third-person shooter action game to be released for the Xbox One & Microsoft Windows. It is being developed by Remedy Entertainment and published by Microsoft Studios. A Quantum Break digital live-action series is also in production. The game will feature digital episodes that interact with the game based on the player's choices.
Quantum Break is a third-person action-adventure game. Players play as Jack Joyce, a person with time manipulation powers in a world where time stutters, making everything freeze except Joyce. Players can use a variety of firearms, as well as their time-manipulating powers to defeat enemies in the game. Joyce can stop time temporarily, allowing him to escape from attacks or freeze enemies, unleash a "Time Blast", which is an offensive projectile, and reverse the direction of bullets. He can also interact with the environments, creating environmental effects that would harm hostile characters. He can also utilize his "Time Rush" ability, which allows him to spawn right next to an enemy to perform an immediate melee takedown. In addition, players can speed up the time around him and swap between covers to diversify attention from unaware enemies. As for defensive abilities, Joyce can protect himself from attacks by deploying a "Time Shield", which can deflect bullets, performing "Time Dodge", which allows him to dash quickly to evade from attacks or simply hiding behind covers.
There are also less action-orientated segments in the game, where players have to solve environmental puzzles while progressing the game like a 3D platform game. With time stuttering and collapsing, objects may get trapped in a time loop. This would make them to become environment hazards and enter an unstable state which are constantly shifting, and would hence create dangerous situations for players, such as them repeatedly smashing into a platform. These objects would become obstacles that would block players' way, and they can be overcome by slowing down or stopping time, so that Joyce can escape from these objects and progresses without getting hurt. He can also call help by relieving frozen non-playable characters.
The gameplay is split into segments. After playing through a segment of the game an episode of the digital show will play. In the game, the video game portion will tell the story of the protagonists while the show will tell the story of the antagonists. Players can make choices as the antagonist in the beginning of each episode of the TV show, also known as "the junction points". These decisions would influence the state of the game.

They made the code between XB1 & PC Win 10 identical IF the developers go down that road it means no extra cost to them as long as they use Win 10 Store only AND Xbox Live For Windows App
