When Remedy and Microsoft announced the Steam version of Quantum Break, there was, in general, celebration at the game finally being made available to PC gamers from a storefront that they feel comfortable dealing with. However, there were a lot of people who had spent money on purchasing the game from the Windows Store who felt betrayed- particularly when rumor began to break out that the Windows 10 version would no longer be updated, and that the Steam version would be the primary PC version for the game going forward.
However, taking to Twitter, Remedy’s Head of PR Thomas Puha clarified that any updates released for the Steam version will also be released for the Windows 10 version, and vice versa- parity, after all, is important, he noted.
He doubled down on the message, noting that no one version would be left behind for the other, and apologizing for the confusion. This means, then, that PC players who purchased Quantum Break from the Windows 10 Store can rest easy- it sounds like your version of the game will also be supported after all.
Clarifying that, of course, updates made to QB on Steam will also be released for the Win10 version and vice versa. That should be a given.

Apologies for the confusion caused. We are not leaving one version behind for another. Parity is important. Again, I’d think thats a given.
