27th April 2026 Game Pass Ultimate & PC Game Pass Subscription Price Drops

Xbox has lowered the prices of its Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass subscriptions, making the service more affordable. The decision has been received well by console owners, who had seen a hefty increase in service costs only six months ago. 

Xbox's Game Pass service lets players access a vast, regularly updated catalogue for a monthly fee. For fellow players in the UK, the change means that the Game Pass Ultimate has dropped from £22.99 to £16.99 a month, with the PC Game Pass from £13.49 to £10.99 a month. 

The decision has also brought in a catalogue shift as a result. The studio has clarified that, due to the cost changes, the new Call of Duty games will only be added a year after launch, rather than on Day One. 

While it's nice to hear, why are we writing about it? Well, included in both Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass are two incredible Remedy adventures: Quantum Break and FBC: Firebreak.

For Quantum Break, the star-studded time-travel adventure was published by Xbox Game Studios, which also owns the IP. While not officially part of the Remedy Connected Universe, the developers have found ways to pay homage to the title and unofficially loop it in. The underrated gem is a must-play for Remedy fans who love a solid time travel story. 

FBC: Firebreak is also among the list, and is the developer's latest released adventure. Set in The Oldest House, players find themselves on the Firebreak team, with up to four players in online co-op. The quirky FPS tasks its employees with settling the pesky and irate Objects of Power, and battling against hordes of Hiss as they complete their task list.

20th April 2026 Posts & Artwork Celebrating Quantum Break 10 Years On

Earlier this month, Remedy's sci-fi action thriller, Quantum Break, turned ten! To celebrate, there was a fresh wave of love for the title online. We saw posts from all over, from people who worked on the project and from the community. Below is a collection of some that were posted on the anniversary.

On the developers' side, Mikko Rautalahti (Story Team Manager on Quantum Break) reflected on the game's journey both for the studio and personally. We also heard from Amelia Rose Blaire Dechart, who played Amy Ferrero, about how it felt to travel farther from home than she had ever been. And finally, there was Shawn Ashmore, who played Jack Joyce, on the title's enduring legacy. 

Quantum Break has just now turned 10. Somehow, a decade has slipped past. Wild. A couple of thoughts about the game...

18th April 2026 Final 24 Hours! Win a Rare Quantum Break Chronon Field Regulator Keyring

There are only twenty-four hours left in our Quantum Break giveaway!

To celebrate the game's 10th anniversary, we are giving away a rare Countermeasure keyring. These were never made available for purchase and appeared only at one or two promotional (and likely press) events in Europe.

These keyrings are definitely sneaky! We followed Quantum Break through from announcement to post-launch news, wrapping up each promotional event stop. We knew about the stickers, lanyards, t-shirts, waterbottles, and trading cards that were given away... but we didn't know about this until years after the game launched. Later, we learned that they were only accessible through an internal official Microsoft store page for marketers.

So, what about the keyring itself? It's hefty, made of metal, and recreated to resemble the CFR (aka the Countermeasure) shown in the game. It's not a direct replica; I noticed it has a repeating pattern on the sides, whereas the in-game model shows some variation in elements like the display and lights. It's not the kind of thing that you notice unless you're really examining it, and it does look very good! As it's metal, it also has some heft, perfect as a paperweight if you don't want to risk putting it on a bag. As it's a promotional piece, it also has the Quantum Break logo engraved on the side. 

For the giveaway, we want to hear your standout moment from the game. It could be a quote, a scene, or a character.

Submissions can be sent in to: Facebook, Instagram, Bluesky, or Twitter. You can also email in your entry to alanwake.thesuddenstop(at)gmail.com.
