Enter the Arenas and prove your FPS skill in id Software’s multiplayer fragfest, Quake Champions, now available in Early Access on Steam and through the Bethesda.net launcher. Players can start immediately by purchasing the Champions Pack, which unlocks all current and future Champions as well as other exclusive in-game bonuses for only $29.99, 25% off the final retail price of $39.99.
The Early Access version of Quake Champions remains a work-in-progress but is a robust, feature-rich, and fun multiplayer game. New features and improvements will be continually added based on player feedback until the game fully launches in the coming months.
