The original DOOM trilogy launches for modern consoles

Play the games that defined a genre

With the stellar-looking DOOM Eternal on the way, and the series reaching over 25 years of bringing mayhem to the first person genre, Bethesda is helping fans celebrate by sending us to the wayback machine. The company revealed at QuakeCon 2019 that it was releasing the original DOOM trilogy (DOOM, Doom II and DOOM 3) has hit the modern devices that we currently spend all of our time one.

The games have been released on the respective digital shops of Sony’s PSN, Nintendo’s eShop, Microsoft’s Game Store (after which their original incantations of backwards compatibility were taken down) and the iOS and Android app stores. One important note, though: DOOM and DOOM II currently require login into a BethesdaNet account to play, although the publisher is quick to note that it actually intends to make the login optional and not mandatory with an upcoming patch.

Happy Birthday, DOOM.
