The brand-new release of Quake 2 Remastered is full of great surprises, and one of them is the ability to support up to eight players on Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S and PC in the local multiplayer mode.

How many people will actually take advantage of this remains to be seen, but it's at least getting a lot of attention so far, with multiple fans taking to social media to highlight just how crazy the eight-person option looks in practice.

Xbox fan Bede x has taken this one step further by sharing a video clip of the feature (which you can watch on the official Xbox website), and while it looks like it functions and performs just fine, you're definitely going to need a big display to show everything clearly!

If you'd rather stick to the more conventional four-player local multiplayer option, you can do that across all platforms - so that means Xbox One owners can join in the fun as well. Or, you could just go online and hop into 16-player matches with Quake 2 fans on every platform thanks to the fantastic addition of crossplay!
