After plenty of rumours, the Quake II remaster has been announced and released during QuakeCon 2023, with a sweeping set of visual enhancements to the classic 90s FPS, and even a brand new campaign by Wolfenstein developer MachineGames.
Quake II is out now on PC, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch. PC and Xbox gamers can also grab it from Xbox Game Pass if they’re subscribed, and anyone that owns the game already via Steam, GOG and the Microsoft Store has a free upgrade to the enhanced edition, and still play the original version if they prefer.
Similar to the Quake remaster from 2021, this is an all-encompassing release that bundles the original game with the two original mission packs: ‘The Reckoning’ and ‘Ground Zero, as well as an all-new ‘Call of the Machine’ expansion by Machine Games. Between them all there’s a nice round 100 campaign levels (not accounting for how they are often grouped together in a non-linear fashion).
But wait, there’s more! There’s also the campaign from Quake II 64. This version of the game for N64 had a new campaign that blended new levels and some levels taken from the PC mission packs.
All of this can be played in both local and online co-op for up to four players, with crossplay enabled by a room code system.
Unsurprisingly, the game runs at the maximum resolution of every platform it’s on, up to 4K, and either 60fps on the last generation, or at 120fps on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
There’s been a number of improvements to the game engine made so that, while the visual style and core assets are practically the same as the original, the fidelity is significantly improved. It stops short of adding in ray tracing, though, which was custom-built for Nvidia’s RTX GPUs.
You can read all about it here, but the graphical improvements include:
For modders, there’s also some new bot features, improved navigation and debugging tools and debugging lines.
And there’s also a set of accessibility options that help to make the game a bit more readable, can rebind and adjust controls, switch gameplay and multiplayer options (like turning off cross-play), adds damage indicators and more.

Following the rumors from early August (and the South Korean board rating from late June), Bethesda announced and released the Quake II remaster at QuakeCon 2023.
Gun Media and Sumo Nottingham have released a launch trailer for their 3v4 multiplayer game based on, which has been released today.
We knew that Red Dead Redemption II would be coming to Switch, and now it’s finally here! Whether it’s actually worth the (checks notes) $50 Rockstar is charging for it is one thing: but at least it comes with the Undead Nightmare DLC, which is one of the silliest romps the studio has ever created.
Capcom’s Exoprimal is the company’s first full-fledged live-service offering, and it’s definitely taken the job to heart. Notably, Exoprimal‘s Title Update 1 is already available as of August 16, delivering a strong follow-up to the game’s official July 14 launch date.

I’ve never really gotten elbow-deep into the Quake series. Before the 2021 Quake remaster by Nightdive Studios, I was actually most familiar with Quake 4, and I really don’t remember that much about it. In 1996, I was into Duke Nukem 3D. And then after that, it was Goldeneye 007. I at least played Quake 2… The N64 version.
