About Quake Live

Developed by id Software in 2010, Quake Live is a competitive, fast-paced arena shooter that carries forward the series' trademark speed and precision. Positioned as the multiplayer-focused successor to Quake III Arena, it doubles down on the fast and furious action Quake is known for, distilling the franchise into a purely combat-driven online experience.

The scope is impressive for an arena FPS. Players compete across more than 100 arenas built by both id Software and the community, giving the game an ever-growing pool of battlegrounds. Detailed career stats and match history let you track your progress over time, so every duel and skirmish feeds into a longer record of your performance.

Variety keeps the matches fresh, with over 12 game modes on offer, including Free-for-All, Duel, Team Deathmatch, Clan Arena, Capture the Flag, and Domination among others. You can connect and compete with friends and players from around the world, making Quake Live a social, high-speed showcase of classic arena action on PC.
