August 17, 2020 Quake 3 is now free to claim through the Bethesda launcher.
The free free PC games in the long-running series to scoop up. This week – in fact, right now (as of this story) – you can grab Quake 3 for exactly zero of your hard-earned pennies.
As with the recent Quake 2 giveaway, the way to redeem your free copy of Quake 3 is through the Bethesda launcher. Simply during the promotion period and you'll find the game added to your library automatically – but you'll need to be quick about it.
The window started today (August 17 at 17:00 BST / 12:00 ET / 09:00 PT) and lasts for 72 hours from that point, so you'll need to snap it up soon if you're keen.
The giveaways are a thank you from Bethesda, as explained in a tweet on the studio's Twitter channel, for the amount of money raised for the NAA Legal Defence Fund, Direct Relief, The Trevor Project, UNICEF charities during QuakeCon. The publisher says a whopping $30,686.48 was donated during the event. Phwoar.
THANK YOU! The total is in, and you raised over $30,000 during #QuakeCon at Home for @NAA_LDF, @DirectRelief, @TrevorProject, and @UNICEF!
As a thank you, we'll be unlocking Quake II on 8/12 and Quake III on 8/17, free for 72 hours each on the Bethesda net Launcher. pic.twitter.com/dfNM6F1qaH
