Remedy and Microsoft are preparing a title update for Quantum Break on Xbox One to fix several nagging issues. Some, such as a correction for game assets disappearing if and when players backtrack, are general. Others, such as a taxi failing to appear in the game's introduction, are more specific.

The title update will be deployed later today.

Remedy and Microsoft are aware of these and other issues dogging the Windows version of the game, but do not yet have a patch ready. "[We] are aware of issues impacting fans playing the Windows 10 version of 'Quantum Break' and are continuing to work diligently to address all the feedback as soon as possible."
