Quake Champions is a competitive arena shooter that launched on PC in 2017, carrying forward the franchise's tradition of fast-paced, skill-based combat. The game operated as free-to-play with optional microtransactions for several years following its release.
Recently, Quake Champions underwent a significant restructuring that converted it to a paid model. Existing players retain free access to the game, but new users must now purchase it rather than download it for nothing. This shift marks a notable change in the game's business strategy after its extended run as a free-to-play title.
