Adam "SyncError" Pyle told the official Quake Discord on 20 September that he is no longer working on Quake Champions updates. The four-week return that started 31 August, to finish 1.31, is over.

On 18 September he had stopped new code and was only answering QA tickets for features already in testing. This goes past that. A player suggested more changes for 1.31. He replied:

I'm no longer working on QC updates.

Asked whether to retire the Discord channel, he posted a farewell GIF and added:

Everyone's dad dies eventually. It's time for me to leave you.

He said the dad is dying. Turns out he was just dying to leave.

No replacement developer is named. He has not said whether 1.31 ships, or whether it is the last QC update. That build still drops the Store, Battle Pass, and paid currencies, and unlocks most vanity.
