Quantum Break fuses live action, immersive gameplay and suspense, comes tomorrow

Microsoft Studios and Remedy Entertainment revealed a new trailer for Quantum Break, highlighting the game’s story and the star-studded cast. Fans can expect Quantum Break’s narrative to be brought to life through a unique gaming experience that seamlessly blends pulse-pounding gameplay with high-quality, live-action entertainment. The game will be available for digital download and purchase in stores starting tomorrow.

The trailer provides a glimpse at the nefarious corporation Monarch Solutions, and features a tense confrontation between Quantum Break’s hero Jack Joyce (Shawn Ashmore – “X-Men: Days of Future Past”) and villain Paul Serene (Aidan Gillen – “Game of Thrones”), who poses one of time travel’s greatest questions – is it truly possible to alter the past to change the future?

Background music won't arrive to Xbox One until the summer

If you've been wanting to use your own tunes while having one of your intense gaming sessions, you won't be able to do that with the Xbox One until the summer. Mike Ybarra announced back in November that the Microsoft was working on making background music available to you. But they didn't specify a timeline for it. Twitter user Phil Spencer asked for our sake and the reply said it won't be coming until this summer. At least now there's sort of a timeline for it. In the meantime, you either have to stick to in-game background music or try and use Groove Music, although that takes up 20% of your screen, which we know can be annoying.

New Xbox One experience update powered by Windows 10 available now

I woke up this morning to find that an entirely new user interface for my Xbox One downloaded and installed overnight. Still groggy from my Fallout 4 and Rise of the Tomb Raider marathon the night before, it took me a while to reorient myself to the new experience. 

Aside from rearranging the look and feel of the Xbox One interface, Microsoft says the re-imagined Xbox One experience is faster and more social and now powered by Windows 10.  An added bonus, all Xbox One owners can play select Xbox 360 games on Xbox One at no additional cost with Xbox One Backward Compatibility (provided you already own the games to begin with, ok). If you have auto updates enabled in your Xbox One, the update should already be installed or coming later today. It's magical. More information can be found here.
