Bethesda has just finished up with itsQuakeCon at Home eventwhich featured panels and livestreams for some of the studio’s biggest games. Throughout the weekend, the event was also raising money for charity, which unlocked some cool perks for theQuakegames on the Bethesda Launcher when significant milestones were reached.
QuakeCon may have been in celebration of all of Bethesda’s games, includingFallout, Prey, andDoom, but one of the major features was naturally the headlining title,Quake. Thanks in part to the release of the free-to-playQuake Championsback in 2017,Quakeis still a hit with players and the new release has managed to bring the best of the signature arena battles to online platforms. The game even has a world championship league of which the Grand Finals were streamed live at QuakeCon.
