This isn’t the first time rumors of a Quake 2 remaster have surfaced, making it increasingly likely that an official reveal is imminent at QuakeCon. It would be equally surprising if the game were not to debut on Xbox Game Pass, especially given Microsoft’s track record of bolstering the service with notable titles. The latest leak comes from the reputable insider billbil-kun, lending additional credibility to the possibility. Barring any unforeseen changes, Xbox Game Pass subscribers can reasonably anticipate the arrival of Quake 2 Remastered next week.
If Quake 2 Remastered does materialize as rumored, questions will naturally arise about how it compares to Quake 2 RTX, released a few years ago. Quake 2 RTX featured ray tracing as its standout feature. It’s conceivable that Quake 2 Remastered may also incorporate ray tracing graphics, though players are advised to await an official announcement for confirmation.
