Owners of the original Doom and Doom II on any supported platform are eligible for a complimentary upgrade to the enhanced definitive versions
Bethesda has unveiled a comprehensive re-release of the classic first-person shooters, Doom and Doom II, now available in an enhanced package titled Doom + Doom II. This new version is designed for modern gaming platforms, including PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S/X, and Nintendo Switch. Additionally, it can be accessed via Xbox Game Pass for subscribers. This definitive edition brings significant updates and features, offering a refreshed experience for both new players and long-time fans.
The enhanced package introduces several modern features aimed at enhancing the gameplay experience. Key improvements include online cross-platform support, allowing players across different systems to team up or compete against each other. The new edition also supports co-op play, enabling cooperative gaming experiences, a first for these classic titles. 4K resolution support is a major upgrade, offering sharper visuals that bring the iconic levels and demons to life with greater detail.
Mod support is another noteworthy addition, giving players the ability to customize and expand their gameplay with community-created content. This feature promises to extend the replayability of the games by allowing for new mods and customizations that enhance or alter the core experience.
For those who own the original versions of Doom (1993) and Doom II (1994) on any of the supported platforms, Bethesda is offering a free upgrade to this definitive version. This move is aimed at rewarding long-time supporters and ensuring that existing fans can experience the enhancements without additional cost.
The announcement came shortly after a listing for the re-release was spotted on Steam by tipster Wario64. Bethesda’s decision to bundle the two games in a single package reflects a growing trend of revisiting and enhancing classic games for modern audiences, capitalizing on nostalgia while introducing new features that align with contemporary gaming standards.
