First-person shooters as we know them today probably wouldn't exist without Quake. Between FPS games, and if you've missed out on Quake – or you just want an excuse to play it over again – Bethesda is offering the classic for free during QuakeCon, along with some other related giveaways.
You can grab Quake right now through the Bethesda Launcher. Sign up for an , , and you'll find the game automatically added to your library. You can probably add Quake 2 soon, as well – Bethesda is also hosting a charity drive during QuakeCon, benefitting causes like Direct Relief, UNICEF, the NAA Legal Defense Fund, and The Trevor Project. If the donation total reaches $10,000 – it's currently at $6k – Quake 2 will also be added to your Bethesda library.
On top of that, Quake Champions – the free-to-play modernised iteration of Quake – is offering up every single character in the game for free. Head to Steam (or the Bethesda Launcher), play a single match, and every Champion on the roster will be unlocked for you forever.
QuakeCon is a lower-key affair this year, but it has brought us some official details on the new Doom Eternal DLC – though even that is scheduled for a bigger reveal later this month at Gamescom. You can tune in for QuakeCon below.
