Quake Remaster Officially Revealed, Out Now on PC and Consoles

A remaster of the original Quake is coming to PC, PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch today. It's also launched into Xbox Game Pass, and will get enhanced native editions on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S "soon", as a free upgrade. It also comes with a brand new expansion, created by MachineGames (Wolfenstein: The New Order).

Announced at QuakeCon, the classic FPS will be available with up to 4K resolution, as well as "enhanced models, dynamic and color lighting, anti-aliasing, depth of field, and the original soundtrack and theme song by Trent Reznor." The upgrade will be free for those who already own Quake on Steam or Bethesda.net.

The campaign can be played entirely in 4-player co-op (online or local, with split-screen) with full cross-play across all platforms. As for multiplayer, Quake's classic arena combat will be available for 8 players online or 4 players locally, and includes "dedicated server support for online matchmaking and peer-to-peer support for custom matches."

Quake Remastered comes with original expansions, The Scourge of Armagon and Dissolution of Eternity, as well as MachineGames' 20th anniversary expansion, Dimension of the Past. More unexpectedly, the new version comes with a brand-new expansion, Dimension of the Machine, also created by MachineGames.

We all but knew the remaster would be announced soon, after it leaked on the QuakeCon schedule and was subsequently rated by the ESRB. Nevertheless, it's a welcome glow-up for one of the most important FPS games ever created.

This is a great remaster, loved the original back in the day. But for every one one of these remasters, there's a Skyrim being remade and it's seriously starting to hinder creativity in the gaming industry. GTA V can also get to fuck, I hope no-one re-buys it.

This remaster also has a bug with the movement, the backspeed is half what it should be, to fix enter the console command:
 cl_backspeed 400

Bought it on Switch and loving it. Fast, atmospheric and a great walk down the memory lane.
