Quake Champions is a fast-paced arena shooter, defined by Quake’s signature rocket jumping, speed, and adrenaline-filled competition. It has 16 champions to choose from, each with their own abilities, and boasts 27 maps to fight on with your devastating arsenal.
When Quake Champions originally came out of Early Access in August 2022, it was free-to-play, but effective immediately, that’s all changed.
In an unexpected move, Quake Champions is no longer free-to-play with microtransactions, but a paid title with no in-game purchases. If you’re an existing Quake Champions player, you can continue playing for free, but players wanting to get in on the action have to pay the newly-attached price tag.
Quake Champions has been transitioned from its past free-to-play model to a paid title that’s only available on Steam. If you ever played the free-to-play version, whether you’re a regular or not, you're eligible to play the paid version for free.
Anyone who has already played the game on Steam has automatically been upgraded to the paid version at no extra cost. Those who accessed the game via the Microsoft Store will also be able to continue on the Steam version for free through the Bethesda account linking process. Quake Champions on the Microsoft Store has been delisted, with no way to access it through this storefront.
Apart from Quake Champions adopting a paid model, all in-game items that were previously acquired through purchasing virtual currency are now accessible to everyone for free. Your account will remain intact, with your profile and ranking carrying over.
Anyone who bought Platinum virtual currency within the last 60 days will get a full refund on that particular purchase. The Platinum and Shards virtual currencies have been removed from the game. All Champions, weapon skins, and costumes that were previously tied to these currencies can now be selected from the Customization menu.
That’s not all, as battle passes, the in-game store, loot boxes, daily login rewards, champion progression, and event challenges have also been removed as part of the change.
