Xbox Game Pass subscribers can look forward to Quake Champions, for example.

There’s not much to look forward to at this year’s digital QuakeCon. Still, Microsoft is taking it seriously: we’ve previously written about how they’ve simplified access to older DOOM and Quake games on Steam (and GOG), but there are other steps the company (that owns Bethesda) has taken. There’s a new Game Pass perk that makes all of Quake Champions’ characters available.

In addition, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Quake 4, Wolfenstein 3D, An Elder Scrolls Legend: Battlespire, and The Elder Scrolls Adventures: Redguard have also been made available on the PC Game Pass. Three games have popped up on the Microsoft Store. These are Heretic: Serpent Riders, Exen: Beyond Heretic and Hexen: Deathkings. Three games have been made free-to-play on the Microsoft Store: The Elder Scrolls: Arena, The Elder Scrolls: Daggerfall, and Quake Champions.

And then there’s Bethesda’s announcement: “The Original Quake Re-Release Gets New Update Including the Legendary Mod, Threewave CTF – Last year, we launched the original Quake for modern audiences and made the game available via Xbox Game Pass for a taste of id Sofware’s high octane classic. Today, we’re adding even more with Update 4, which includes the return of the legendary progenitor of team-based multiplayer: Threewave Capture the Flag. This addition includes nine iconic levels from the original mod just in time for QuakeCon to bring you and seven of your closest frag friends back together again!” So if you missed the CTF in the first Quake (which was a staple in Quake III Arena and was not missing from Quake III Team Arena, which is now bundled with the base game), you could relive this one too.

We’re just wondering when MachineGames will announce Wolfenstein III. Sure, LucasFilm Games got them to work on an Indiana Jones project, but we’ve been waiting for it for years. Meanwhile, DOOM 64 is free on the Epic Games Store.
