First Three DOOM Titles Hit PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch

Jul. 27, 2019

In case you’re wondering,DOOMandDOOM IIhave already been listed on the Play Store for $4.99 apiece, and both come with enhanced graphics and additional content. While the former comes with the‘Episode IV: Thy Flesh Consumed’expansion with 9 additional levels, the latter includes‘The Master Levels’expansion with 20 additional levels made by the community and supervised by the developers. Both offer local 4-player deathmatch and co-op modes.

Even as most of the nostalgic DOOM players from the 90s seem to be happy about the latest news, some are pointing out one disconcerting development. Bethesda has apparently added new DRM code to the new versions of the games, requiring players to login to their Bethesda accounts to be able to play even in the local, single-player mode. The original titles, released back when online gaming was yet to become mainstream, were single-player games that didn’t require an internet connection.

After your initial login, you can play it offline as well
