Quake Remaster is now Available on Nintendo Switch, PS, Xbox and PC

Earlier today, it was revealed that the original Quake got an official ESRB rating for PlayStation, Xbox, PC, and Nintendo Switch indicating a possible remaster to the respective consoles. The reveal and actual release of the Quake Remaster happened during QuakeCon 2021, where it was officially revealed that Quake Remaster is already up on all platforms and available to purchase.

Talking about nostalgia, the Quake Remaster will support 4K resolution and widescreen, with reworked textures, models, and dynamic colored lighting. Anti-aliasing will also be available for smoother textures and a re-invented gameplay experience. This release candidate will also support up to 8 players for online play and 4 player split-screen if you seek local entertainment.

The Quake Remaster will include the original DLC packs named Scourge of Armagon and Dissolution of Eternity. The game is currently up for purchase on Steam, PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch. The game’s price has been shifted from $4.99 to $9.99, and all the existing owners of Quake will be able to get the major update for free. Below you can find all of the changes introduced with this major update.
