Quake 2 Remastered is here after years of rumour and speculation. Shadow-dropped on August 10, fans of the lovingly named, boomer shooter, can finally get their hands on the definitive version of ID Software’s legendary sequel to Quake. The remaster was done by Nightdive and follows on from their excellent work on the original Quake from way back in August of 2021.
Console owners can download and play the game right now, and it will run flawlessly. However, as is always the case, PC gamers may have to do a bit more research. Of course, Quake 2 is over two decades old so most potato-fuelled calculators could run it in its original form. The remaster requires a bit more oomph to get running smoothly, however, so it’s better to double-check before you drop money on the PC version only to realise you are working with a battery-powered brick.
