Ever wanted to play Quake for free, in your internet browser? Well soon you will be able to thanks to a new partnership between IGA and ID Software. Boasting the potential of ‘freemium’ software Quake Live promises to bring many great features to your browser. Elements such as friends lists, sponsored events and tournaments, stats tracking and much more. Kinda like Xbox Live and Steam Community features all rolled into the web browser and a great gaming series.

For the chance to play a new Quake game, for free with the above features…yeah I would happily accept some in-game advertising for that.

“IGA understands game developers and game players which makes them the perfect partner for QUAKE LIVE. Whether it’s been the ease of implementing their SDK or just their excitement about QUAKE LIVE, they have been fantastic to work with,” said Todd Hollenshead, CEO of id Software. “As we work to bring QUAKE-style deathmatch excitement to the masses, IGA has fully supported our vision.”
