So it came as a very big surprise today when Microsoft and Remedy announced that a special. It is quite likely that feature development will favour UWP over Win32 moving forward. The PC version of Quantum Break was confirmed in February as a Windows 10, Windows Store exclusive. That’s way less interesting than Street Farter V, though. Quantum Break is a 2016 action-adventure third-person shooter video game developed by Remedy Entertainment and published by Microsoft Studios for Windows. Made better, consumer who pre-order the Xbox One version will receive the PC version at no additional cost. We’ve just been informed by our producers that they talked about Quantum Break coming to PC. There is also some concern that in the future Microsoft may deprecate Win32 in favour of UWP, now, while I doubt that Win32 is likely to disappear the concerns remain and they are valid. Quantum Break is confirmed to be coming to PC. 1 The version of Quantum Break that is coming to PC next month appears to be one of the most restrictive major game launches on the platform in some time. UWP is simply an attempt to transfer control from the User, you cant peer into the UWP container and your ability to utilise hardware features of your PC is dictated by the container. It is not simply 'a method for ensuring that "application written for Windows 10 can also work on Windows 10 mobile without having to be ported to it" It also imposes hardware restrictions too in that SLI is rendered useless in UWP titles etc. UWP also has significant limitations, firstly (and I'm not certain if this has changed) Games do not run in fullscreen, they run in borderless full screen mode, meaning the game does not lock the screen for exclusive use this can have an impact on render performance. In addition to this UWP is 'portable' but it is also locked down and while the method of distribution is largely irrelevant, it is controlled by Microsoft. It is a self contained file system that provides privileged access to API's while isolating the files in a container whose contents cannot be accessed. Quantum Break is a bizarre hybrid of video game and live-action television show coming to the PC and Xbox One. Given that this game is coming out at a lower price point on PC as well, theres just not excuse not to get it. UWP is an attempt by Microsoft to sieze control. Quantum Break is a great game from start to finish, and playing it with all the benefits of being on PC just make it that much better.
