Surprise! Quake just got remastered. Bethesda, id Software, and Nightdive studios all combined their collective knowledge and intellectual property to bring the 1996 classic shooter back from the dead. It's got 4K resolution support (on PC), better models and lighting, a co-op campaign, full crossplay, all previous DLC, and a brand new DLC courtesy of MachineGames.
And now, thanks to Limited Run Games, Quake is getting its very own physical release a full 25 years after it first arrived on MS-DOS computers.
Quake (remastered) will come in three different physical flavors on both Nintendo Switch and PS4. The Regular Edition will just be the game in a nice case and with a full-color manual for just $29.99. Move up to the Deluxe Edition and you'll get a fancy PC-style box as you would have back in the '90s. You'll also get a double-sided poster, a metal Quake logo keychain, a commemorative coin, and an official G2 Blu-ray-sized Quake SteelBook. All that plus the actual game itself clocks in at $79.99.

But the pinnacle Quake experience is reserved for the Ultimate Edition. You'll get everything that came in the Deluxe Edition plus a motorized rotating Quake Quad Damage replica statue, an enamel pin, a three-inch metal Shambler figure, a Ring of Shadows, a Quake logo t-shirt, and a numbered certificate of authenticity, all packaged up in a replica Nail Gun ammo box. All for $179.99.
Pre-orders go on sale starting August 27 with no limit on how many you can order. Pre-orders close September 26, with deliveries to be announced at a later date.
Of course, if you don't need the memorabilia, you can just get the Quake remaster on PS4, Switch, Xbox One, and PC via Steam or the Microsoft Store for just $9.99. A next-gen upgrade will become available "soon" too with unknown additional benefits. Let's hope its RTX support like Quake II.
