Id has announced that those who sign up for their Quake title Quake Live will receive free access to Premium services until September the 26th.

New sign-ups will get a taste of exclusive maps and game modes usually reserved for Premium subscribers who splash out 1.99 USD per month.

The maps are a mixture of new maps and favourite maps from previous Quake games including Aerowalk, Theater of Pain, Japanese Castles, and Realm of Steel Rats as well as the exclusive Freeze-tag game mode.

New players who decide to upgrade their subscription to the Premium service will also get a token for one month's free Premium play to extend their own subscription or invite a friend to try it out.
