Quake 2 was supposed to be a surprise announcement at today’s QuakeCon but, along with being prematurely leaked and rated, the game appeared on the PlayStation Store for PS5 and PS4 a bit too early. One thing Bethesda Softworks did keep quiet, though, is that there will also be a physical edition of Quake 2 that comes in standard edition, Special Edition, and Ultimate Strogg Edition variants, the latter of which includes a mini Adrianator ship.
Pre-orders for the Quake 2 Ultimate Strogg Edition start soon
Pre-orders for the Quake 2 standard edition, Special Edition, and Ultimate Strogg Edition will all begin at 10 a.m. ET August 11, on Limited Run Games. The standard edition is available for PS5, PS4, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch. The Special Edition and Ultimate Strogg Edition are available for all of those platforms as well as PC.
The standard edition of the game will include a region-free disc for PS5, PS4, and Xbox, or a region-free physical cart for Nintendo Switch. It is $34.99.
The Quake 2 Special Edition is priced at $84.99 and will include these items:
- Physical Copy of Quake II
- Quake II Two-Piece Collector’s Box
- Quake II SteelBook

Finally, the Ultimate Strogg Edition is available for the loftier price of $149.99. This includes the following items:
- Physical copy of Quake II
- Quake II Strogg Collector’s Box

Pre-orders will run until September 10, 2023. Limited Run noted that it could take four to six months after the pre-order window has closed before players receive their game. But for those who don’t want to wait, the Quake 2 remaster is already available digitally.
