“A newly-enhanced edition of the original Quake has been officially revealed by Bethesda at QuakeCon 2021,” reports GamesRadar+

The updated edition of the classic 1996 first-person shooter is out right now on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and Nintendo Switch.

There’s updated visuals, online and local multiplayer, and new content available in the enhanced edition of Quake. Two expansions for the original game — The Scourge of Armagon and Dissolution of Eternity — are included in all purchases, as are the Dimensions of the Past and the brand new Dimension of the Machine expansions, the latter two of which are developed by Wolfenstein studio MachineGames.

“Those who own Quake on Steam or from the official Bethesda.net store can access the update for free,” reports Ars Technica:
The multi-platform release could be seen as positive news after Microsoft’s acquisition of Bethesda, a move that generated worries about Microsoft/Bethesda exclusivity moving forward. For those who don’t mind waiting, Limited Run Games will offer physical disc and card releases for the PS4 and Switch, respectively, including a pricey limited edition that comes in a box that looks like the in-game nail-gun ammo…
According to a press release, the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X versions of the game will run at full 4K and 120 fps once a future update goes live.
