In Bethesda they are giving it away. Never better said. After giving away the mythical Quake to celebrate the QuakeCon 2020, the company has decided to continue its charity round by extending the offer to the entire trilogy of the saga. And the next to arrive is obviously Quake II.
A legend among shooters
The arrival of Quake was a spectacular change in the world of shooters. Elevated settings and first-person perspective with vertical axis shifts allowed the experience to be taken to a new level, especially after native OpenGL support was introduced for the first time.
Quake II is free on Bethesda launcher by logging in within 72 hours. Quake III free starting next Monday https://t.co/9aqF6Qdxd6 pic.twitter.com/d26M9eRIDR

Away from the medieval theme of the first installment, in Quake II we will enjoy a science fiction story in which humans invade the planet Stroggos in order to avenge the alien invasion that planet Earth suffered earlier. A game that marked an era, and the only thing missing was a film adapted to the video game. Not to mention a remake that elevates him to the category of maximum legend.
How to download Quake II for free
In the same way that happened a few days ago with Quake, to get the free download of Quake II you will only have to log in to the Bethesda launcher so that it is added to your personal library. But don't take too long, as you only have 72 hours to do it.
It is a procedure similar to what we have seen in other similar services, something they basically do to attract new users for future releases (and to give joy with a good reward, of course). The steps you must do are the following:
- Visit the page Bethesda website
- If you don't have an account yet, create a new one
- Download the Bethesda launcher and login to it
- Trade in your copy of original Quake completely free
And after Quake II… comes Quake III
But in case we didn't have enough, Quake III Arena It can also be downloaded for free from August 17, once again being available for free for 72 hours, the same time that Quake II remains free. In the case of Quake III, the third installment marked the LAN revolution, since the game focused on multiplayer games, lacking a campaign or any type of plot with a story.
THANK YOU! The total is in, and you raised over $ 30,000 during #QuakeCon at home for @NAACP_LDF, @Directelief, @TrevorProjectand @UNICEF!
As a thank you, we'll be unlocking Quake II on 8/12 and Quake III on 8/17, free for 72 hours each on the Bethesda net Launcher. pic.twitter.com/dfNM6F1qaH

The reason for giving away these two video game jewels is because users have collaborated enormously in a charity event organized at QuakeCon by Bethesda itself. In total, they will be more than $ 30.000 those that go to charities, so, with the idea of acknowledging the effort, Bethesda has decided to give away the next two Quake installments to all users of the Bethesda launcher.
