Doom Eternal’s Next Generation Patch Has Arrived
Doom Eternal was no doubt one of the best games of 2020. Featuring fast-paced rip and tearing FPS action, the sequel to 2016’s Doom remake was a spectacular game from front to back. Now players who have been lucky enough to upgrade to a new Xbox Series or PS5 console in the past year can experience it all over again with a next-generation coat of paint. Doom Eternal’s future is full of raytracing and glorious demon killing.
