The implementation of new progression loops introduces new game systems we’ve designed to keep players coming back throughout the week, every week," Pyle wrote. "Our onboarding efforts include additional tutorials, training maps, and UI/UX improvements to build a better user experience for all our future newcomers. Beyond immediate focuses, improving "Onboarding and Progress Loops" remains to be seen to. In other news from the Q&A, id Software lead designer Adam Pyle said the studio is currently focused on improving "performance, network code, and stability of the game", as well as gameplay balancing. "You will still be required to have a linked account, but users playing the game from Steam will not go through the launcher." "Quake Champions will indeed be released on Steam," Bethesda Softwares senior producer Jason Bergman wrote. That might not seem revelatory, but since the current beta launches exclusively through, many had suspected the final game would too. Favour, which is the in-game currency earned by participating in matches, can subsequently be used to purchase champions.In an audience Q&A blog published last week, an id Software spokesperson confirmed that Quake Champions will run through Steam. Players who want to unlock more champions can unlock them by finishing the in-game tutorial and by gaining Favour. Players also gain access to all maps (or arenas), along with two free champions: Ranger and Scalebearer. Jumping into Quake Champions now will give anyone access to Quickplay, Ranked and Arcade game modes. My guess is the previous free-to-play period was a test to see if the current move would be worth it. During that time Quake Champions experienced a monumental spike in active player counts. On that note, it must also be noted that the title went “free-to-play” for a short while, earlier in 2018. The title just lost its early access state and moved to the list of full releases on Valve’s platform. It should be noted that the game is still regarded as being in “beta”, and is technically an Early Access title as far as Bethesda is concerned. With that said, I assume that future champions will have their own special packs going forward. Death Knight, who is teased in the QuakeCon 2018 trailer (embedded below) is the game’s newest champion and is included in the Champions Pack. However, players can still pick them up in the “Champions Packs”, that offers all “currently available” champions. This means that there is no way to get all available and future champions in a single purchase. Now that the game is going “100% free-to-play”, it means there are no longer options to “buy the game”. “Buying the game” would have given players access to all champions in the roster as opposed to a weekly rotation of champions. Originally, the only way to get access to the game was to purchase a “Starter Pack” that included a handful of champions and access to a weekly rotation of other champions. For example, it was meant to exit Steam Early Access with an option to “buy the game” if players liked it. id Software originally announced that Quake Champions would make use of “certain free-to-play systems”. While it is by no means unsurprising, this news comes way sooner than anticipated. Yes, Quake Champions goes free-to-play as it finally enters a full-release state, hot off the Early Access presses! Bethesda recently sat down during a QuakeCon 2018 panel to announce how its multiplayer arena shooter will now become a free-to-play title.
