Xbox is losing one of its oldest exclusives

Xbox is losing one of its oldest exclusives

Xbox Game Pass is losing a major exclusive

It’s never easy to learn we have to say goodbye to a game or show we love, but when it’s an exclusive? Well, that hits differently. Yet it’s the reality of all Xbox Game Pass customers because one of its oldest exclusives is leaving.

Quantum Break, first released in 2016, was thought to be safe from such removals because it was published by Microsoft. But that doesn’t seem to be the case, with the game rumoured to be leaving Game Pass at some point in April 2023. That being said, it isn’t listed as one of the games to leave from 16 April onwards, which is causing fans to question when the final date will be set.

The games we definitely know are leaving Xbox Game Pass include:

  • Life is Strange: True Colors
  • Moonglow Bay
  • Panzer Corps 2
  • The Dungeon of Naheulbeuk: The Amulet of Chaos
  • The Long Dark
  • The Riftbreaker
  • Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Extraction

As you can see, Quantum Break is nowhere to be found, with it instead relegated to the ‘Leaving Soon’ section.

Could this be an error? It isn’t out of the realm of possibility, however, given how well received Quantum Break was, and still is, it seems unlikely that such an error would be left unaddressed. Still, stranger things have happened, like ARK fans now having to pay for the remastered version of the original. This isn’t an Xbox related issue, but it goes to show that no game is ever safe.

Xbox has a rigid system for game removals, with two rounds occurring on the 15th and last day of each month. Typically, an announcement is made about the games leaving Game Pass, alongside the news of the games joining it; it’s a double edged sword every month. But as of yet, there’s been no announcement that includes Quantum Break.

The official announcement for April 2023 still hasn’t happened yet, so there’s plenty of time for the news to get an official stamp from Xbox itself. However, until that time, all we can do is longingly look at the ‘Leaving Section’ and hope that Quantum Break has another month of gameplay left in it.
