Quake - one of the very greatest games ever made. To celebrate its 30th anniversary, MachineGames has delivered a brand new mission pack - Dawn of the Machine - and we've had early access to it.

Some excellent questions from Digital Foundry Supporters this week. Does the F1 25 PS5 Pro path tracing demo and ReSTIR optimisations mean that path tracing is going mainstream - maybe for next gen? Is there still untapped potential in PS5 and Series X? Is Microsofts new We Are Xbox strategy document just a massive balloon of hot air? Is Nvidia making path tracing an exclusive feature and what do we think about that? And... a year on from release, why Oblivion Remastered still broken?
