Bethesda’s sizeable Doom 1 and 2 re-release updates – which were announced at the tail-end of last year, and add the likes of 60fps support, as well as free community created add-ons – are available now on Xbox One, PS4, Switch, mobile, and PC.
As Digital Foundry reported last summer, Bethesda’s recent Doom 1 and 2 re-releases had more than their fair share of teething problems at launch. Since then, the publisher has issued a number of updates to improve matters, but today’s offering is the most significant yet.
Once their respective patches have been downloaded, Doom 1 and 2 will see a frame rate boost from the original games’ 35fps to 60fps on all platforms, and receive various quality of life enhancements, as outlined in Bethesda’s latest patch notes.
Highlights include a new weapon carousel, a quick weapon select feature (accessible via the d-pad), level select improvements, quick save and load support, and new aspect ratio options – meaning the ports can finally be played in 4:3, as was the case in the original versions.
