An online QuakeCon has been announced in June 2020 to replace the live show in August 2020. The 25th QuakeCon event had been planned for August 2020 in Dallas, Texas, but due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, was cancelled by Bethesda Softworks and id Software on March 31, citing difficulties in planning with vendors and exhibitors at this stage. QuakeCon has historically had a reputation as the ' Woodstock of gaming', and a week of 'peace, love, and rockets!'.

The event is highly dependent on volunteers to cover many aspects of the organization of the event. The event, which is named after id Software's game Quake, sees thousands of gamers from all over the world attend every year to celebrate the company's gaming dynasty. It includes a large, paid, bring-your-own-computer ( BYOC) LAN party event with a competitive tournament held every year in Dallas, Texas, USA. QuakeCon is a yearly convention held by ZeniMax Media to celebrate and promote the major franchises of id Software and other studios owned by ZeniMax.
