How co-op works

Online and split-screen co-op modes let you fight through the campaign and expansion episodes together, sharing ammunition and facing the same enemy hordes across gothic levels.

About this game

Quake is the seminal dark fantasy first-person shooter from id Software, updated and enhanced by Nightdive Studios and MachineGames. Its gothic corridors, Lovecraftian monsters, and brutal gunplay defined a generation of shooters and now support cooperative play alongside the original competitive deathmatch.

You navigate labyrinthine medieval and eldritch environments, switching between shotguns, nailguns, rocket launchers, and the iconic Thunderbolt to dispatch fiends, ogres, shamblers, and stranger horrors. Movement is fast and precise, demanding trick jumps, circle-strafing, and resource management as you hunt for keys, secrets, and the exit rune in each level.

The campaign spans four episodes plus official expansions, each building toward tougher encounters and more intricate geometry. Co-op allows friends to revisit these missions together, while PvP modes preserve the arena heritage that launched competitive FPS culture. Cross-platform support and split-screen options make it accessible whether you play on the couch or across the internet.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does co-op work in Quake?

Quake lets you play through the original campaign and expansion episodes with friends in online or split-screen co-op. You'll tackle the same labyrinthine levels, hunt for keys and secrets, and fight through waves of monsters together. Cross-platform support means you can team up regardless of where your friends are playing.

Can I play Quake co-op locally on one screen?

Yes, Quake supports split-screen co-op on the same screen. You and a friend can play through the campaign together on the couch using shared or split-screen modes, in addition to the online co-op option.

Does Quake have PvP as well as co-op?

Yes. While co-op lets you play through the campaign together, Quake also includes the classic PvP deathmatch modes that defined competitive FPS culture. Both online and split-screen PvP are available as separate options from the cooperative campaign.

Which episodes and expansions support co-op?

The co-op mode covers the four original episodes of the campaign plus the official expansions included in the enhanced version. You can progress through all the missions cooperatively, from the medieval fortresses to the more eldritch late-game environments.
