Microsoft has said Quantum Break is now the best-selling new Microsoft Studios IP this generation, as well as being the best-selling boxed game in the UK this week.

That means it's outsold the week one sales of the likes of Insomniac's Sunset Overdrive and Crytek's Ryse, both new Microsoft Studios IP that launched this generation.

While Remedy's action shooter is out on Windows 10 and Xbox One, sales tracked by Chart-Track are for the Xbox One version only. Chart-Track does not include download sales in its report.

Quantum Break only just beat Codemasters' Dirt Rally to top spot. Dirt Rally launched on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One last week, and Quantum Break's single platform sales beat it by just 139 sales.

Well deserved. I'd consider it one of the best story games this generation, and it has fun gameplay as well. If you like Alan Wake, Uncharted, and Tomb Raider then Quantum Break will be right up there for you. What surprised me the most was that the TV portion of the game is very good.

So congrats to Remedy for the successful launch sales. Now on to Alan Wake 2 maybe

UPDATE:

MS clarified by MS IP's they mean Ryse, Sunset Overdrive, Zoo Tycoon and Screamride.

Sunset Overdrive will never get a sequel ;~;

Congrats to Remedy and MS though!

Alienous · Apr 11, 2016

Its sales competition was Sunset Overdrive and Ryse?

Uh ... congrats ... ?

Moskalova · Apr 11, 2016

Sunset Overdrive Microsoft Studios IP? Since when?

Yeah that's wrong too. Is Ryse even an MS IP?

Same for Ryse lol.

Ricky_R · Apr 11, 2016

Great news. TPS are alive and kicking.

Would love some numbers, but this would have to suffice.

Edit: Missed "New Ip" for some reason. Well, will have to wait for NPD to have an idea then.

mocolostrocolos · Apr 11, 2016

So... What does this even mean?

Lichter · Apr 11, 2016

So it outsold Ori's first week too?

Acquiescence · Apr 11, 2016

I don't know how much that statement holds weight beyond serving as an eye-catching headline, but congrats to Remedy nonetheless. High-budget single player games that aren't set in an open-world need to live on.

edit: Well Zoo Tycoon I guess, as was pointed out below.

edit2: It's no fun since they consider Sunset Overdrive and Ryse MS IPs for this

wapplew · Apr 11, 2016

I sense thread will turn south pretty quick.
Congrats Remedy!

Theorry · Apr 11, 2016

Lol look at the flies.

Banjo-Kazooie · Apr 11, 2016

So really it beat Zoo Tycoon and Screamride. Think those are the only two MS owned IP with retail releases so far. Sunset and Ryse don't count lol

Edit: maybe Rare Replay too even though that's really a collection

Bits N Pieces · Apr 11, 2016

Good to hear positive reaction to the game from a sales perspective.

Now that Quantum Break is out in the wild, there's only one thing for Remedy to do next

Crazy surprise E3 announcements for Wake Returns and Sunrise Overset incoming

Need them numbers tho

Ein Bear · Apr 11, 2016

Not really sure what games actually count here for it to have outsold, but hopefully QB did well regardless. I loves me some Remedy.

AnthonypUK · Apr 11, 2016

i thought they were spinning it so that SO and ryse weren't included, but now they aren't <28k for all those games opening weeks in Xboxes #2 territory is nothing more then piss poor.

thekonamicode · Apr 11, 2016

Insomniac owns the Sunset Overdrive IP.

Doesn't change the fact that MS can publish IP that aren't theirs but apparently they included non-ms IP's as well so...?

salromano · Apr 11, 2016

What is it competing against?

Edit: Also, is QB a Microsoft Studios IP? IIRC, they didn't own Alan Wake.

Edit 2: They own Quantum Break, thanks Banjo-Kazooie.

Goose_Se7en · Apr 11, 2016

Congrats to Remedy, but like other Gaffers have mentioned, what does this mean exactly?

Dunno about Ryse, but I was under the impression Ted Price and the boys/gals over at Insomniac owened the Sunset Overdrive IP.

Im aware of this. It never says owned ip. It says "New Microsoft Studios IP". That is published, and owned.

Revolutionary · Apr 11, 2016

Microsoft PR, ladies and gentlemen.

Anyways, I really loved the game and I hope they fix the PC version so it sells even more, so we can get Quantum Break 2 or Alan Wake 2.

jelly · Apr 11, 2016

Would have got a nice bump if the PC version was good and also on Steam. I presume it will be pretty lopsided to Xbox One.

Yet MS doesn't own the IP.

nynt9 · Apr 11, 2016

JayWood2010 said:

The whole reason Insomniac went with MS instead of Sony was so that Insomniac could retain ownership of their IP. So it's not an MS IP.

CalamityPixel said:

Doesn't mean they own the IP.

Id be happy with a Horde style mode from different areas of the game!

But really, I want/need a sequel to Alan Wake.

I think they might be referring to retail games only as there's another comment about it being the best selling boxed game or something, which would explain the lack of Ori too.

I wish insomniac would port it to pc and ps4, would love for them to hit goals and make a sequel but alas.

They own QB

Also

Didn't we have Ryse at over 1mil? QB already outsold that?
