Any free games as part of QuakeCon 2020?
Hell yes! According to Bethesda, everyone who tunes in to watch QuakeCon 2020 this weekend will get a free copy of the original Quake to wreck stuff in. Sure, it's an old game, but it's a friggin' classic is what it is. If you don't have it yet, and especially if you're yearning for some classic FPS tango, that's the ticket! To claim your free copy of Quake, just log into your Bethesda.net account during the QuakeCon weekend. Easy!
With Quake in mind, though, Bethesda does have a bunch of other freebies prepared, too:
- Quake II, but only if people donate over $10,000 to the Bethesda-sponsored charity
- Flame Atronach Pony pet for Elder Scrolls Online + Ouroboros Crown Crates
- DOOM Eternal QuakeCon Slayer Skin, Icon, and Badge
- Quake Champions Railgun Skin
- Fallout 76 Sheepsquatch Outfit + Mr. Fuzzy Backpack (Demonic Variant)
You'll need to have connected relevant gaming accounts with one another to grab these boons, of course. For example, if you'd like to get the badass Flame Atronach Pony, be sure to link your ESO and Twitch accounts ahead of time, and then watch the QuakeCon streams until the pet drops!
