What to watch for

The competitive nature of Quake Champions can lead to high levels of competitive toxicity and social comparison. While there's no stranger chat, the game's monetization model, which gates access to champions, could create a 'pay-to-win' perception or pressure players to spend to unlock full character options. The M-rating indicates mature content, including violence and strong language.
