Welcome to Shacknews! For those unfamiliar with the history of this website, we started out as a fan site for all things Quake. We were the great Quakeholio! So whenever QuakeCon rolls around, it's a special occasion for this website. If you missed the news, QuakeCon At Home is going down right now and what that means for you is that everything Bethesda is on sale this weekend. That includes the DOOM franchise, the Fallout franchise, the Wolfenstein franchise, and, yes indeed, the Quake franchise. You can find sales on Steam, GOG.com, Fanatical, Green Man Gaming, Gamersgate, and even Bethesda's own website.
In other news, Borderlands 3 is free-to-play on Steam this weekend. Overwatch has kicked off its Summer Games event, meaning that's getting a sale on Battle.net. The best of EA is on sale across Origin and Green Man Gaming. And the Assassin's Creed Odyssey Gold Edition has its best price ever over on Fanatical, where supplies are limited.
