The enhanced version of Quake was released on August 19, 2021 and provided as a free update on Bethesda.net and Steam. It was also released on Microsoft Store and included with Xbox Game Pass.
Similarly to the 2020 Unity engine re-releases of Doom and Doom II, the enhanced version of Quake features free curated add-ons that can be downloaded through Bethesda.net with custom vanilla-capable mod support.[2] A PvE Horde mode was added in this remaster with Update 2 on December 2, 2021.[3] On August 19th, 2022, Update 4 released adding built-in support for the popular "Threewave Capture The Flag" mod, which was released for the original Quake in 1996.[4]
