Quake Champions Beta Test Extended June 21, 2018

Bethesda has just announced they’re extending the access period for the closed beta test of Quake Champions they announced at E3 2018. The signup period for the beta test was scheduled to end early Monday morning, but it’s been extended until June 25th, 2018.

If you want to play, you’ll need a Bethesda account and the game’s beta client. You can get both from Bethesda’s website, once you have an account you can download the Bethesda launcher and download the client that way. If you are a Steam user and would prefer to play the game through Steam, you can do that too. Steam will allow you to connect the Quake Champions game to your Bethesda account after launching the beta client.

Quake Champions is coming exclusively to PC. Once you’ve started playing the beta, you’ll be able to continue playing Quake Champions even after the beta period closes.

Final Day for the Quake Champions Beta, Sign Up Now June 17, 2018

Quake was the game that made me a PPC gamer. Quake II was one of the most graphically revolutionary games of its time. Quake III Arena revolutionized online multiplayer. Quake IV had a great single-player campaign I marathoned through in one night. During the Bethesda E3 2018 Press Event, the gang from id Software revealed a beta test was coming for a new multiplayer Quake game, Quake Champions, and it would be running for the week of E3. If you play the game before the test wraps, you’ll be able to continue playing it after the testing period ends. However, new players who don’t play the beta will have to wait for the game to get released before they can start to play it.

Its been a great week, but the Quake Champions E3 beta test is coming to a close. If you haven’t signed up yet, do it now. You can sign up for the beta (and download an independent client) at Quake.com. If you are a Steam user, you can currently download the client from the Steam store completely free of charge during the beta phase.

Quake Champions is coming to PC. The beta test will conclude at 10am PST June 18th, 2018.
