Can we hope for a Steam release? Or just a crappy MS Store release.....

Why would Microsoft want to give Valve 30% of every sale when they have their own store?

 

[Nibel]

Gamestar is usually reliable and they say they were told about this at a recent QB event; and honestly: looking at Remedy's past games and the fact that even big titles like Tomb Raider and Halo don't sell on XBO, I can't blame 'em

 

[ramoisdead]

I'll wait until more confirmation.

But just in case, DAY EFFIN' ONE for PC. Anything to give Remedy money to make Alan Wake 2.

 

[FelipeMGM]

Looks like they jumped ahead on the embargo

 

[CircleOfFire]

Gotta get it out before Uncharted 4!

 

[silva1991]

Just like Recore a few months ago.
Scalebound next...

If QB and SB comes out to PC I don't think I will be touching an Xbox1 for years if ever.

 

[Solrac]

Microsoft should learn the meaning of " exclusive "

 

[LostDonkey]

Well, here we go. The only interesting exclusive remained on One is Scaldbound, it seems.

I can't buy a system for only one game: it's nonsense, imo. I'll play Quantum, ReCore and KI on my PC and bye bye One.

Scaldbound, where instead of fire, dragons spit a kettles worth of hot water at you.

 

[Mivey]

Sucks for the Xbox One to lose such a precious exclusive. PS4C is a beast.

 

[Bluth54]

Great news, I just hope it's not DX12/Windows 10 store exclusive.

Why would Microsoft want to give Valve 30% of every sale when they have their own store?

Because Steam is by far the biggest marketplace on PC. Also Microsoft has had no problems releasing their games on Steam in the past.

Sale is a sale. Microsoft and devs will be happy.

 

[Braag]

My wallet wont like this...

 

[Pantaghana]

Their source is the dev

What is more reliable than the developer telling them that it's coming to PC? Gamestar.de is a reliable site.

I see, don't speak German so I couldn't read the article for myself, and the OP doesn't state that fact.

 

[ekim]

Great news, I just hope it's not DX12/Windows 10 store exclusive.

I hope for DX12 support though. I would buy it for my PC rather than Xbox One. This is great news altogether.

 

[EvilKatarn]

Safe to assume it would have Denuvo if true. Doubt they would risk it.

It won't. Remedy actually understands PC gaming.

 

[Dahaka]

My wallet wont like this...

The Personal Computer version should be quite affordable.

 

[madmackem]

Wow comin out at the same time????. I thought thy old use it to push xboxs coming day and date makes it have a lot less impact.

 

[FelipeMGM]

Not up to Remedy though, Microsoft owns this IP. Its a different case from Alan Wake

 

[YianGaruga]

It won't. Remedy actually understands PC gaming.

Does Microsoft though?

 

[Poster#1]

Looking forward for Win 10 store edition.

Spoiler

I want achievements

 

[T.O.P]

Jeez, gotta double dip now

 

[Moobabe]

Because Steam is by far the biggest marketplace on PC. Also Microsoft has had no problems releasing their games on Steam in the past.

Microsoft is and will be making moves to convince people to use the Windows 10 store.

 

[EvilKatarn]

Does Microsoft though?

Chuckled. I guess not.

 

[Gemüsepizza]

It won't. Remedy actually understands PC gaming.

What are you talking about? If they "understand PC gaming", the game will have Denuvo.

 

[ekim]

It won't. Remedy actually understands PC gaming.

What's the problem with Denuvo? It's okay in my book. And MS owns the IP, so MS made this happen. Based Phil Spencer. <3

 

[twinturbo2]

Can someone please tell Phil Spencer what the definition of "Exclusive" means?

I really don't want to believe the "Xbox as service" meme going around, that there will be another Xbox console... but I have my severe doubts now if they're letting most of their games go to PC.

 

[deadman69]

The Personal Computer version should be quite affordable.

especially with the windows 10 store not caring which region you're in, so you can get eastern European prices.

 

[Dictator93]

Gamestar (mainstream source) + apparent direct confirmation of devs at event = PC version confirmed. Scheiße

 

[demigod]

MS wants people to use their windows store, no way is this coming to Steam.

 

[pitchfork]

Excellent news if true!

I really want this to do well, so the more sales the better

 

[ashecitism]

Yeah, I just wasn't sure what to think cause no other side was reporting it ans that article is an hour old by now so I tried not to raise false hopes here.

You might want to put that "they say Remedy told them this at the QB event" in the OP too. That's pretty convincing as far as this story goes.

 

[Englebert3rd]

I would've thought it would be a temporary Xbox exclusive. I'm glad I've been proven wrong.
Definitely getting the game, don't care about what store it will be released on.

 

[Lingitiz]

Microsoft should learn the meaning of " exclusive "

I mean ultimately it doesn't really matter right? Exclusives don't really determine the market leader at the end of the day, as this generation and the last have proven. Why leave money on the the table and not release on PC?

 

[GlamFM]

I'm very skeptical, although I would welcome it.

About the date or the game?

 

[robotrock]

Awesome move if true.

 

[Nzyme32]

As a fan of remedy games, this would be pretty great. Unfortunately I won't bite for several years, until the MS store can demonstrate competence; assuming it only comes to that store

 

[derFeef]

Jeez, gotta double dip now

What if they make it universal, lol.

Some people don't have powerful gaming PCs or prefer the easier console experience. Microsoft can serve everyone, nobody loses out. Software is the money.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

MS wants people to use their windows store, no way is this coming to Steam.

Does MS own the game though? They didn't publish Alan Wake.

 

[Bright-Light]

This is fantastic news.

 

[nbnt]

Does MS own the game though? They didn't publish Alan Wake.

QB IP is fully owned by MS.

The Xbox can always function as the "low end pc" with easy to set up and play. Not everybody wants to own a PC. They dont care if you get it on PC or Xbox at the end.

No but it makes the console less appealing, I think we all hoped it would come later down the line on pc coming day and date is a blow to the appeal of the Xbox one.

 

[mocolostrocolos]

Ucranian Store, here we go!

 

[Akai__]

Great news for PC people. I'm still getting this 100% on Xbox One.

If it's cross-buy, then I'll give it a try on PC, too. Doubt it, though.

 

[def sim]

This could be the first non-10 cent game I buy on the W10 store.

Does MS own the game though? They didn't publish Alan Wake.

They do.

 

[Jameson]

Xbox one will be the entry price point to play their games, no shame in that. Not everyone can afford a PC.

 

[Dynasty]

It is definitely coming to PC but I think it will after it is released on X1.

 

[cyba89]

Please be available outside of the Win10 store.

 

[Chris1]

It was always coming to PC but the same day? I don't know about that. I've always thought it'd be at a later date.
