Update: The game is 36 GB on Windows 10. According to a report by AR12Gaming, Quantum Break can run at 4K 60 FPS on Windows 10. I wonder how powerful a machine you need for that.
The highly anticipated Quantum Break will be 44 GB according to the Xbox One Store page. Many people who originally had the 500GB Xbox One consoles might be experiencing a lack of storage due to these large game sizes, so I suggest picking up an external hard drive from Amazon.
To put this into perspective, Halo 5: Guardians is 66.6GB including all of the updates we’ve had since launch. Gears of War: Ultimate is 44.4GB, having had its fair share of updates. Even Forza 6 is 48GB. I think 44.09GB for the base game without any updates is pretty large, and only confirms that the game we are getting from Remedy should have a decently sized story, along with other content.
Quantum Break is set to release on April 5th, 2016 on Xbox One and Windows 10. It includes cross-play between the two platforms. Stay tuned to ICXM.net for more Xbox and Microsoft news.
