Quick summary
In an unusual move, developer id Software's free-to-play shooter Quake Champions is transitioning into a paid product, eight years after its original release. As part of the same move, the Microsoft studio is killing off the Microsoft Store version, meaning it's now only available on Steam.
What we know so far
Automatic note by LuaCat Games, built from what we know about the coverage (who reported it, how many sites, the story’s history) — not a translation or copy of the source.
The platforms named are PC (Steam). So far only Eurogamer has run it, but that's a newsroom that checks what it publishes.
Bottom line: You can treat this as firm, just keep an eye on updates.
