Quake 1 gets a silent release on the Nintendo Switch, PS4/5, Xbox One and Series plus PC.



Out of the blue, one of the games from the id's Holy Trinity of Classics, Quake, hits the Nintendo Switch, PS4/5, Xbox One/Series and PC on a rather quiet release, with the price of $9.99.

The original Quake released back in 1996 saw the main protagonist go against an ancient evil and its hordes of Lovecraftian creatures. This port is an enhanced version of the original, featuring widescreen and 1080p support, enhanced models, revamped lighting, and much more, including the original 2 Expansion packs and 2 new ones added in this exclusive release.

You can check out the full list of features that this port includes in the official Nintendo eShop page.

Developed by the award-winning id Software, Quake® is the ground-breaking, original dark fantasy first-person shooter that inspires today’s retro-style FPS games. Now, experience the authentic, updated, and visually enhanced version of the original.

Experience the Original Game, Enhanced
Enjoy the original, authentic version of Quake, now with up to 1080p* and widescreen resolution support, enhanced models, dynamic and colored lighting, anti-aliasing, depth of field, the original, atmospheric soundtrack and theme song by Trent Reznor, and more. There’s never been a better time to play Quake.

Play the Dark Fantasy Campaign
You are Ranger, a warrior armed with a powerful arsenal of weapons. Fight corrupted knights, deformed ogres and an army of twisted creatures across four dark dimensions of infested military bases, ancient medieval castles, lava-filled dungeons and gothic cathedrals in search of the four magic runes. Only after you have collected the runes will you hold the power to defeat the ancient evil that threatens all of humanity.

Get the Original & New Expansion Packs
Quake also comes with both original expansion packs: “The Scourge of Armagon” and “Dissolution of Eternity,” as well as two expansions developed by the award-winning team at MachineGames: “Dimension of the Past,” and the all-new “Dimension of the Machine.”

Discover the All-New “Dimension of the Machine” Expansion
In the deepest depths of the labyrinth lies the core of lava and steel known only as The Machine. Crusade across time and space against the forces of evil to bring together the lost runes, power the dormant machine, and open the portal hiding the greatest threat to all known worlds—destroy it...before it destroys us all.

Enjoy Online & Local Multiplayer and CO-OP
Fight through the dark fantasy base campaign and expansions in 4-player online or local split-screen co-op, and compete in pure, retro-style combat with support for 8-player (online) or 4-player (local split-screen) matches. Featuring dedicated server support for online matchmaking and peer-to-peer support for custom matches.

Download Additional, Free Mods & Missions
Expand your experience with free, curated, fan-made and official mods and missions such as Quake 64, which is available to download and play now. More fan-made and official mods and missions coming soon.

Play Together with Crossplay

Aww man, I hoped for a reboot or remaster. Like Doom 2016 got. A lot of this they show already is modded way beyond what they have here.

A Quake reboot is still feasible, they could very well still get a reboot out while still having the original available, like they did for Doom 2016 and Doom 1/2/3.

I think I still got the demo of the original in a CD somewhere...

This is a game I basically ignored because I already had Doom 2 and the review if it that I read in a magazine didn't sold the game to me.

When I heard the rumors I was hoping for a proper reboot this time but I guess this works.

Here's the question though: Quake 1 is overrated as hell, when are we getting a re-release of Quake 2 and 3? Please?

I understand the console audience probably won't like Arena FPS combat much, because they're almost always on controllers and Quake III plays best with a kb&m, but I still think more people need to be exposed to these games of old and realize what they've been missing!

That isn't to say this isn't at least a step in the right direction. This is, to my knowledge, the first official port this game has gotten to modern consoles. But it really disappoints me that only the first game, which already gets way too much special treatment, is getting a re-release.
