ID SOFTWARE GAMES AVAILABLE VIA
STEAM
DOOM, HeXen, QUAKE, and More
Legendary Titles Launch Today
id Software has teamed with Valve to
bring some of the most successful game franchises in history to Steam, a leading
platform for the delivery and management of PC games and digital content with
over 13 million accounts around the world.
Starting today, Steam users may
download full versions of these best-selling and critically-acclaimed games,
including the complete DOOM series and QUAKE I – III, including mission packs,
as well as id’s pioneering PC side-scroller, Commander Keen and vintage
favorites Wolfenstein 3D, Spear of Destiny, Heretic, and HeXen. As part of the
id Welcome Celebration on Steam, select id packages are being offered with a
10%, limited-time discount.
"Valve pioneered digital delivery of
video games with Steam," said Todd Hollenshead, CEO of id Software. "As a game
developer themselves, Valve understands what developers and game players want
and need in an online distribution system, and Steam delivers."
"We can’t overstate our admiration
for id, its games, and the technical advancements the company has delivered to
help move the industry forward during the past 15 years," said Gabe Newell,
co-founder and president of Valve. "Like many other studios, Valve was born when
we licensed the QUAKE engine to build our first game. We’re proud to welcome id
to Steam and give people around the world an easy way to play the games that
have inspired everyone here at Valve."
