The March update for Quake Champions has been released, kicking off season 2 with balance changes, performance updates, game optimizations, and more. One of these changes is the ability for all players to create their own custom matches with their own set of rules.

It’s a whole new season, Quakers. Progress through the Season 2 Battle Pass to earn exclusive vanity rewards like the Flintlock Shotgun, Visor’s Plasma Emission System, and the coveted Tesla Lightning Gun. Plus, we’ve added a few new items in the store, like the community-created Chibi Icons Pack.

Rewards aren’t the only thing players can earn for free this season: we’re giving ALL players access to create their own Custom Games! Now everyone can play around with match rules, practice against bots, or just run around the maps.

As they’re focusing more on the Battle Pass, the Champions Pack will be discontinued, but current owners will keep the champions and vanity item unlocks they have earned. Champions can still be purchased with shards or platinum.

Finally, the 2019-2020 season of tournaments will begin at QuakeCon 2019 with a Duel tournament and end at QuakeCon 2020, the 25th anniversary of the event. QuakeCon 2019 begins on July 25th, 2019.
