The announcement came during QuakeCon, the annual fan convention for the classic shooter game. Quake was released in the mid-1990s as a follow-up to the legendary shooter game Doom, and became especially famous for its strong multiplayer features.
MachineGames, which now owns the rights to Doom and Wolfenstein, and original creator id Software, have updated the game for all display resolutions up to 4K. The lighting, the 3D models and other graphic systems have also been thoroughly overhauled.
There are both local and online multiplayer options in the game. The latter is platform agnostic: if you play on PlayStation, you can also play against players on Xbox, PC or Nintendo Switch.

Expansion Packs
Included with the game are the two original expansion packs, the later addition ‘Dimension of the Past’ and a new expansion, ‘Dimension of the Machine’. This new version of Quake is now on sale for 10 euros for PC, modern Xboxes and PlayStations, and the Nintendo Switch. If you already had Quake in your Steam library, you get the improved version for free.
A few years ago, the successor Quake II also received an upgrade. This re-release was primarily intended to showcase the new ray-tracing technology of NVIDIA graphics cards. Quake II RTX is still free to download.
