Quaking in yer boots.
Have you playedQuake? The eldritch lords at RPS HQ don’t let me write HYP posts, of course, but I thought I’d ask anyway. See, it’s QuakeCon At Home this weekend, and Bethesda are giving away a seminal piece of shooter history - and every character in its arena-blasting descendantQuake Champions- for free ‘til the end of tomorrow.
QuakeCon At Home is currently live over onTwitch, and fellow newsie Craig Person’s highlighted some of thebest sessions to check out during the weekend’s festivities. WhileQuakeitself rarely headlines Bethesda’s annual showcase, they’re giving away the landmark 1996 shooter for free until 11pm EST tomorrow night (that’s 4am on Monday morning for us Brits).
Log into the Bethesda.net launcher before then, and you’ll be able to snag your copy of Quake - and as a bonus, you’ll get Quake 2 thrown in for free. See, Bethesda are running a charity drive alongside QuakeCon toraise funds for Direct Relief, the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, UNICEF, and The Trevor Project, and a $10,000 incentive to unlock the ‘97 sequel appears to have been handily smashed overnight.
If you prefer a newer flavour of Quake, Bethesda are also having a bit of a giveaway over on free-to-play deathmatchQuake Champions. Logging in will get you a commemorative railgun skin, sure, but completing a single game of the hero shooter will also net you every Champion in the game for free.
