Today marks the fourth anniversary since Quantum Break launched on XBOX One and PC (Windows 10) and Cam Rogers' Quantum Break: Zero State was published. Thank you to everyone who shared their love and memories of the game and the book, and posted gorgeous artwork to celebrate the milestone. It was so genuinely lovely hearing from fellow fans in the community and talk about a game that personally means a lot to me and clearly so many of you too.
Remedy also ran their own celebration later in the evening using #4YearsOfQuantumBreak to unite all the postings, and will likely be sharing the responses a little later on their own page. [Update: 6th April 1:15 BST: They did! You can check out their Twitter story, HERE!] But in keeping with tradition, we wanted to do a little community wrap-up of our own:
Four years ago, Quantum Break launched on XBOX One and PC, blending a live-action series with intense gameplay. ๐ฎThe team had incorporated references to their older work into the game and, in turn, QB kindled ideas for Control.— The Sudden Stop (@TheSuddenStop) April 4, 2020
What was your favourite Quantum Break moment? pic.twitter.com/RQMGeMl7tH
(Due to the timezones, the messages may show a little before or after April 5th)
I love the moment when Jack sees himself climbing over the fence at ground zero. For some reason, that really managed to pull me back in the reasoning behind time travel.— Patrick Streutjens (@PayneReactor) April 4, 2020
Also really enjoyed working together with the team on Will's workshop, I was very much into tying player movement to the flow of time and I think we got a cool sequence out from that. Having said that, I wish we'd squeezed more puzzles and gameplay out from that sequence.— Mikael Kasurinen (@MikaelKasurinen) April 5, 2020
All of it.— Daniel Walton (@Weeeeee711) April 5, 2020

In the beginning, when we help Paul start the time machine. Such an awesome moment, watching it kick into life. Sets the mood & the atmosphere for the game. Great immersion from that moment on, made me feel what it would be like if time machines was real.— Tina (@tinas_space) April 5, 2020
Favorite moment is finding out that Beth Wilder knew of her own fate and chose to accept it. It was wild to just read through her diary over the truth.— Ronald "RozaldVane" Van ๐ฎ (@rozaldvane) April 5, 2020
When you first enter the time machine. You dont know what is waiting at the other end of the tunnel.— DS (@wildestcatever) April 5, 2020
The whole game was phenomenal and so was the show. I want more of both.— CARLOS J. DUNCAN (@shadesixgfx) April 5, 2020
We also heard from some of the developers and actors involved on the project:

4 years ago I was lucky enough to be a small part of this games launch helping with social media. It was my first game launch and I got to work with so many talented people! Feeling nostalgic. <3 pic.twitter.com/JLWceeo2gW
Artists in the community also got involved, sharing throwbacks to some of the Quantum Break pieces that they had done over the years and to new projects created for the occasion:
