Windows Central regularly streams Xbox One games on Twitch every weekend, giving our audience a chance to see a variety of games in action, chat with each other, and interact with our gaming staff. The games we stream have usually been released to market, but sometimes we get to look at big titles ahead of launch.
Tonight we took a special look at the biggest Xbox One game of the spring: Quantum Break from Remedy and Microsoft. This is your chance to see the time-bending adventure two weeks before release! We also gave out some great prizes. Read on for quick impressions, contest winners, and the full video replay!

Quantum Break
The long-awaited follow-up to Remedy's Alan Wake is nearly here!
Quantum Break follows hero Jack Joyce a man caught at the forefront of a dangerous experiment that "breaks time." With time unraveling and all life on the verge of ending, Jack must fight to repair the damage caused by his best friend's experiment gone awry. But the militaristic soldiers of the mysterious Monarch corporation will do anything to stop him.
- During tonight's stream, we'll be looking at Acts 1-2 and 1-3 of the game. Act 1-2 begins just after the catastrophic experiment has begun to damage time.
- Tuesday, March 29, we'll follow up with Acts 2-1 and 2-2.
Quantum Break features a thrilling narrative brought to life by expert voice acting and even live-action TV segments, stunning graphics, and unique time-based powers during combat. Will this be the Xbox One game of the year? Read Jez's detailed preview and then watch us play to get an idea before Quantum Break launches exclusively on Xbox One and Windows 10 on April 5!

How to watch Twitch livestreams
What's the best way to experience Twitch? The Twitch website on your PC or Mac web browser. If you don't have or prefer not to use a computer, you can get the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, or Xbox 360 Twitch apps and watch from the comfort of your couch. Android and iOS both have official and unofficial Twitch apps to choose from as well.
On Windows Phone, you'll have to grab an unofficial app. There are several to choose from, each with different strengths and weaknesses. Only one app lets you search directly for our channel, though. If you use the others you'll have to find and follow us from a web browser first. Read the roundup to learn more!
