Quake Champions is a multiplayer competitive FPS developed by Id Software. The gameplay resembles the same arena shooter mechanics as the previous installments. For the first time in the series, the so-called champions appear in the game. Each champion has a different amount of health, top speed and a unique ability that can be used once in 20-45 seconds depending on the champion and needs to be recharged after usage. The abilities are designed using the rock-paper-scissors principle with each ability serving as a counter to another. This was done in order to put emphasis on a player's skill and not the chosen character. The game also features character customization system which allows changing the look of any selected champion. There is no loadout system in the game whatsoever. Players have to pick up the weapons scattered on the map. Players can download the game for free, yet they will have access to only one Champion, Ranger. The players have to either rent new champions using the in-game currency or by the so-called champions pack that will unlock every in-game character for an unlimited amount of time.

The PC version is open to all mods, for the console versions the selection is curated. It features maps that have been slightly altered from the original PC campaign, a special screen filter effect, plus the original soundtrack composed for that release. The game's multiplayer has also been overhauled, allowing for four player same-screen co-op gameplay or arena versus modes, four player online co-op, or up to eight players versus online through Bethesda.net, which also allows for crossplay between the different platforms. Steam releases of the game also include Quake v1.09, which can be used to play older game campaigns and mods, as well as classic LAN multiplayer. This version of the game supports additional technical improvements for compatible platforms, such as widescreen support, 4K resolution, enhanced models, dynamic lighting, anti-aliasing, depth of field, and more graphical enhancements. A later released free update for the Xbox Series and PlayStation 5 versions introduces 4K/120fps.
Previously free-to-play, Quake Live is an updated version of the classic multiplayer first-person-shooter Quake III from id Software. In 2015, developers abandoned the free-to-play model and now users must pay for the full version of the game. It is available on Steam and players can log in using it. After the release on the site, the developers refused to pay a subscription. Previously, it cost $ 10. The gameplay is as simple as possible - players compete for the number of frags in each match. There are scattered weapons, armour, first-aid kits and other power-ups on the map. As the user plays he discovers new tactics and movements, like rocket jumping and strafe. In total there are 12 modes in the game. There is no single campaign, the whole game is full-throttle multiplayer experience with fast-paced matches. The developers are betting on turning Quake Live into a major cybersport discipline and hold one of the biggest Quake tournaments at QuakeCon.
