During QuakeCon 2023, executive producer Marty Stratton and game director Hugo Martin announced that the 1997 shooter Quake 2 had been ported to modern consoles with updated graphics, cross-play, and much more.

Quake 2 will still have all of its original features, such as the single-player campaign, expansions that include Mission Pack: The Reckoning and Mission Pack: Ground Zero, multiplayer maps, and the soundtrack by Sonic Mayhem, along with the original Nintendo 64 port. On top of that, Quake 2 will have widescreen support, online cross-play co-op/multiplayer with couch co-op/multiplayer, a new single-player expansion, and performance updates.
