Quake Enhanced, also colloquially known as Quake EX or QEX, is an enhanced version of the first-person shooter Quake ported to the Kex Engine by Nightdive Studios, featuring support for widescreen resolutions up to 4K, higher framerates, optional graphical updates, cross-platform online multiplayer, as well as a new expansion titled Dimension of the Machine.[2]

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]
