If you need more Quake in your life, check out Quake Champions, which went free to play back in 2018. It'll run you $5 on Steam, but it's often on sale for much cheaper. Quake 1 was previously free to nab on August 7, so sorry if you missed out. No word on Quake 4 yet, though it's honestly best left forgotten. Quake 3 will be free to own on August 17 starting at 9 AM PT / 12 PM ET. If you don't already have Quake 2, you can pick it up for free for the next 72 hours on the Bethesda Launcher simply by logging in. Well, thanks to a successful charity drive at this year's QuakeCon, a couple of them will be free to own soon. Though each game is radically different from one another-the steampunk fantasy of Quake 1, the sci-fi Strogg slaying of Quake 2, and the pioneering multiplayer of Quake 3-each of them have held up quite well over the years.

When it comes to the early days of the FPS genre, there's really no substitute for the original trilogy of Quake games. By clicking 'enter', you agree to GameSpot's
