Id Software has not yet decided if the PC-exclusive Quake Champions will be free-to-play or a traditional paid game. Studio head Tim Willits told PC Gamer that choosing a business model for the game has been a “really hard problem.”

“So for us, we’re trying to figure out exactly what people want more of, and how they perceive it,” Willits explained. “And I’m not even trying to be cagey! It’s not like we know and just aren’t trying to tell anybody; we don’t know and we’re still trying to figure this out.”

Quake Champions will be a PC exclusive game for its initial launch. However console versions are not completely off the table. The game runs at 120Hz with unlocked framerates and id Software is aiming to get it working on a wide range of computer specs.

“We want to make sure that we have as many people as we possibly can,” Willits said previously. “You’ll be able to turn down your specs and get a decent game at lower-end. But we want to shine on good systems.”

id Software may be still debating about their business model, but the hype for this game is absolutely undeniable.
