Design risks
| R1 | Compulsion-loop pressure | 0.00 | |
| R2 | Monetization | 0.00 | |
| R3 | Social risk | 0.00 | |
The primary risks in Quantum Break stem from its mature content, including frequent violence typical of a third-person shooter, and potentially strong language, consistent with its M-rating. There are no significant risks related to compulsion-loop design, monetization pressures, or social risks due to its single-player, non-monetized design.
