Some games only end up on certain platforms. When they do, we don’t always get an explanation as to why it’s so exclusive. With Quake Champions , we have. It turns out id Software is all about maintaining a certain level of quality with this game, and it wants to make sure the refresh rate hits a certain point for all of the PC players.
Quake Champions is going to have a 120Hz refresh rate. It’s being developed with serious players who can tell the difference between 30, 60, and 120Hz refresh rates at a glance. Tim Willits, the game’s director, told GameSpot, “Most of us, and even me, I can’t really tell the difference. But there are some players who are inhuman. And we can’t come out and say we’re going to make a game for them and not run ridiculously fast. Because if we lose the pro guys, we’re in trouble. That’s why it’s a PC game. No excuses. No limitations.”
There you have it. Quake Champions is a PC exclusive all so id Software can make the best, fastest running game it possibly can. Let’s hope it pays off and players appreciate that commitment!
