What is ioquake3?

ioquake3 is a free and open-source software first person shooter engine based on the Quake 3: Arena and Quake 3: Team Arena source code. The source code is licensed under the GPL version 2, and was first released under that license by id software on August 20th, 2005. Since then, our dedicated team has working hard to improve it, fixing bugs, and adding just the right new features to make the engine even better than before.

Thank You!

Thank you to everyone who has ever contributed to ioquake3, this project would not exist without you!

ioquake3 would not be possible without contributions from volunteers and important resources from Digital Ocean, Discourse.org, icculus.org, and Nuclear Monster.

Although we have id software to thank for releasing the source code to Quake 3: Arena and Team Arena, ioquake3 is not part of or sponsored by id software, Bethesda, or Microsoft. This is a community project that you can get involved with.
