We're really getting old, the original Quake game is now over 25 years old and Bethesda is celebrating this event by releasing a remastered edition. The remaster adds support for resolutions of up to 4K, has improved texture models, a dynamic shadow system, better lighting, and other graphical enhancements to make the gameplay more enjoyable in 2021.

Better lighting, new models, updated maps, and a dynamic shadow system headline the graphical features available in Quake. Individual features of the enhanced graphics can be turned on and off to your preference

Quake gets all expansion mission packs (Scourge of Armagon, Dissolution of Eternity, and Dimension of the Past) and comes with cross-platform multiplayer support. Furthermore, it will be possible to play the story mode in co-op with up to three other players.

If you already own Quake via Steam or Bethesda.net, the remastered edition will be offered for free. Else, you'll need to pay $10 to download it. It's available immediately for the PC, Xbox One, PS4, and Nintendo Switch. A version for the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S will follow soon.
