Xbox Limited Run #10: Quake II Special Edition

id Software's follow-up to the game that invented the genre gets a physical package worthy of a military briefing. The Xbox Limited Run #10: Quake II Special Edition for Xbox Series X/Xbox One wraps the Strogg invasion in a two-piece collector's box that demands attention on any shelf.

The SteelBook alone would justify the pickup for most collectors, but the extras here tell a story. The briefing document and dog tags lean into the game's military sci-fi identity, transforming your collection into something that feels like it was pulled from a dropship heading to Stroggos. The reversible 18x24 poster gives you display options, because sometimes you want the classic key art facing out and sometimes you want whatever's hiding on the back.

Quake II occupies a unique space in FPS history. It wasn't really a sequel to Quake. It was its own thing, a Strogg-infested corridor shooter that pushed early hardware to its limits and built a multiplayer community that lasted for years. The remastered version plays better than it has any right to in the modern landscape, and having it in a proper physical edition on Xbox with era-appropriate military ephemera is exactly the kind of treatment this game has been waiting for. Limited Run #10 means this was early in the Xbox lineup. Don't sleep on early numbers.
