Quake Champions

Quake Champions is a multiplayer arena shooter in which you choose from a roster of Champions, each with distinct attributes and abilities, and fight other players in fast-paced matches. Combat centers on precise weapon use and rapid movement. Players can rocket-jump through arenas and wield weapons such as the Rocket Launcher, Lightning Gun, and Railgun. Modes include Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, 1v1 Duel, and the team-based Sacrifice. The Champions add character-specific options to the arena-shooter format.

Race through weapon-filled arenas, rocket-jump into firefights, and use a distinct Champion's abilities in competitive FPS matches.
