Bethesda may be moving towards having multiplayer in a lot of its upcoming games – for instance, Fallout is going towards multiplayer with Fallout 76, as is Wolfenstein with Wolfenstein: Youngblood, while DOOM: Eternal will have new multiplayer elements too – but the company still embraces single player games as part of its identity and heritage.
Player name: KSR Pusha (info page, clan statistics): CLQ: Period: Type click for zoom: Rank: Rating: Minutes: Frags: Average ping: Average frags per minute: history. Victory in Quake Champions is all about building momentum. That philosophy also carries over to Early Access, where we regularly update the game to make it faster, better and more fun than ever! With this new update, Quake Champions receives several new features that benefit newcomers and vets alike, alongside improvements to player progression, loot boxes and game balance. New players can use Quakestarter as a quick way to get going with Quake and the many amazing things created for it since 1996. Veteran players can use it as a nice way to bootstrap 'yet another Quake installation', or to discover overlooked gems - since no one can keep up with every single piece of custom content released. Quake Champions: Doom Edition (also known as QC: Doom Edition) is a gameplay mod based on Quake Champions featuring custom classes, weapons and monsters. It is designed for Zandronum 3.0 and compatible with GZDoom from 1.8.6 to 4.3.3 and Delta Touch. QC:DE boasts balanced gameplay across the single player, numerous PvP and cooperative game.
Speaking to IGN, Bethesda's VP of marketing Pete Hines noted that while the company has made, and continues to make, multiplayer and social games, single player titles are still fundamentally a part of how the company views itself.

Quake Champions Single Player
'Single player is part of who we are,' he said. 'We're also the folks that make Elder Scrolls Online. We make Quake Champions. We make Elder Scrolls: Legends. But single player is part of who we are.'

That said, how Bethesda approaches single player games has changed- rather than focusing on the concept of replayability, Hines said, the developer now looks at value, so that the player who pays $60 for a Bethesda game still feels like they got their money's worth.
Quake Champions Dead
'We have a joke in the office,' Hines said. 'I have banned the word replayable because that's not a feature. Every game is replayable. Tetris is replayable. Every game can be replayed from the beginning. That's not unique. That's not a feature.'
Which is fair- even a short single player only game like The Order 1886 can be played multiple times ad infinitum, after all. Making that experience, whether the player plays the game once or many times, worth it and compelling is where the challenge lies. Thankfully enough, at least, that is one area where Bethesda games have no problems, thanks to their emphasis on player agency and emergent gameplay, which keeps things fresh. Going forward, hopefully Bethesda remembers to retain this quality in all its games.
Fallout 76 launches on the PS4, Xbox One, and PC on November 14 this year.
