After a number of rumours, id Software and Bethesda this week announced (and released) a Quake remaster on all platforms including the Xbox Series X and S.
As you might have already heard - Nightdive Studios assisted in bringing the game to these modern systems.
Nightdive game developer and YouTuber, MVG, has also revealed his own involvement as a senior developer on the project, and while his main focus was on the PlayStation release, he also helped out with the Xbox and Switch versions.
"For those wondering about my involvement in the project, as mentioned I'm a senior developer on the KEX Engine team, and focused mainly on the console versions, and predominantly the PlayStation version. But I also jumped in and helped out as needed with the Xbox and Nintendo Switch builds."
In the video above, he talks about how it was a "dream come true" to work with Bethesda and id Software at an official capacity and what to expect from this particular build, including plenty of development insights.
Quake is now available on Xbox Game Pass. You can also check out Quake 2 and Quake 3: Arena on the service.

This guy is putting in effort all the time and makes really informative videos. Congrats to him.
I am really enjoying the remaster. Hope they give Quake 2 the same treatment ( although it supports 1080p out of the box, which is a surprise)
I'm loving the multiplayer. No confusing before-match menus. No looking at your equipment or customising your character. Just get in and shoot 💩. I'm loving how everyone is just sliding around the maps like crazy because there's no aiming down sights. I don't care if I'm bad as it's fun af.
MVG is awesome, Watch him every week on the Spawncast..
I'm not familiar with MVG, but I have been following Night Dive for a while, and I really respect the work they have been doing.
Crazy to think the guy who coded a bunch of the emulators on the original Xbox went on to be a senior dev on a first-party Microsoft release.
Is he aussie/kiwi? Really doesn't sound like he's from Kansas as per the Youtube About. But man, I have loved every minute of playing Quake again. Cool vid too.
Any idea if there is a way to access the console or join multiplayer games running other client/servers?
