The new leak shows that Microsoft may give Quake 2 Remastered to Xbox Game Pass members in the near future.
A fresh leak QuakeCon 2023 during the event Xbox Game Passwhich will be added as a surprise to Quake 2 Remastered shows that the game can be announced.
Quake 2 Remastered may be awarded
Microsoft stated that one of the main reasons it bought ZeniMax Media and its affiliates was to acquire games for Xbox Game Pass, and since Quake 2 comes under the umbrella of id Software/Bethesda/ZeniMax Media, it seems likely that the remastered version of the game will arrive on Xbox Game Pass on the first day.
QuakeCon is an annual event mostly dedicated to Quake, but also an event that draws attention to other Bethesda games. QuakeCon traditionally hosts some surprise announcements. A few years ago, the remastered version of the first Quake game was surprisingly announced at this event. Now, according to the rumors, history seems to repeat itself again with the Quake 2 remaster version.
This isn’t the first time we’ve heard about the Quake 2 remaster version. At this point, it would be more surprising if the game wasn’t announced at QuakeCon. At the same time, there may be some skepticism that the game won’t come to Xbox Game Pass in a shadowy way. This latest leak looks much more realistic than other game “leaks” as it was made by trusted insider billbil-kun.
A great experience awaits Game Pass members
Quake 2 is often lauded as one of the best first-person shooters ever made. It will be great to have this game back, especially on the Xbox Game Pass platform where it can reach a wider audience. This way, those who wouldn’t normally consider trying an old game like Quake 2 can be encouraged to try the game more.
Those planning to play the game with Xbox Game Pass should note that Quake 2’s campaign supports multiplayer and the game also includes several multiplayer modes. So, if all these features are included in the remaster version, Game Pass members can have a great experience to play with their friends.
