Bethesda's annual QuakeCon event takes place in about a week's time, and it's looking like the 2023 convention will bring a surprise Xbox Game Pass launch.
According to reliable leaker billbil-kun, Bethesda is prepping a stealth launch of Quake 2 Remastered for pretty much every platform out there, including Xbox Game Pass of course. It'll apparently just be called 'Quake II', but it's certainly getting the full remaster treatment if this report is to be believed.
And believe it we do. Not only did we hear about this project back in June, but, two years ago the exact same thing happened for Quake - Bethesda dropped a remastered version of the very first game in the series during QuakeCon 2021. Quake's remaster also ended up in Game Pass, where it remains thanks to Xbox's ownership of Bethesda.
QuakeCon 2023 takes place August 10 through August 13, so if this Quake 2 remaster is real, expect to hear about it in an official capacity next week.
Would you hit up some Quake 2 all over again on Xbox Game Pass? Let us know down below!

This is really cool if they do......they need to bring a all new Quake out soon similar to how they updated DOOM
remaster? i would love a full remake of the game
@MSX amine Brother amine
Quake 4 please.
YEAH, looking forward to this!
I think it will be Hexen instead.
MVG and its carbon engine is hard at work !!
Quake 2 RTX on PC is already pretty awesome, so hopefully this is a bump up from that. Nightdive did great on Quake 1.
@Moonglow a new Quake game would be awesome.
@Kaloudz I 100% agree! Also, don't forget that the best part of Quake 3 was the ability to create custom maps etc. That feature alone was the base to build a very strong community for that game. I miss that time, user crated stuff were and added value to the games.
@Moonglow id are certainly working on a new game of some sorts. The Quake 1 port was by Nightdive studios, a very adept porting studio, and Quake 2 may also be by them. So the Quake remasters wouldnt have impacted id a lot.
We have had a console gen since Doom Eternal and given id do their own tech and are bleeding edge, it’s not all together surprising we haven’t seen a new title yet as they’re probably building on the tech they updated with the last game. Who knows, maybe they’ll tease one at Quakecon as well.
Hell yeah. I'll be keep a close eye on this.
I would love to see a total remake of all 3 Quake story games rather than just remasters.
Is it a stealth launch if you know it's happening?
Really looking forward to this. Will be on Gamepass day 1 which is great. No doubt a limited run physical edition down the line also I presume..
I adored this game when I was young. I can't wait for it to hit Gamepass
Quake 2 was my jam back in the day. Played on PC competitively. Was in multiple “clans” for different game modes and leagues. Mainly played Rocket Arena and CTF and had a blast.
Gonna be great playing it again.
Wonder if Wolfenstein 3D will be/is on the table like the DOOM games were and Quake games are.
