DOOM Eternal is brilliant, not that you'd need any sort of reminder of that. It's id Software figuratively and literally firing on all cylinders, with one of the best first-person shooters period bolstered by the amazing id Tech 7. Which now has the power of ray-tracing on PC (alongside support for NVIDIA DLSS rendering) and next-gen consoles too. That's right it's now Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 enhanced.

With ray-tracing.

id Software has updated the PC hardware requirements for ray-tracing alongside the various modes available on console. Next Gen Update 6 for DOOM Eternal takes full advantage of the modern consoles, including support for the PS5's DualSense controller.

id notes that dynamic resolution scaling is enabled for all resolutions to maintain that silky smooth frame-rate.

On the DualSense front, in addition to adaptive trigger support the controller speaker is also getting some love for alerts (like Blood Punch ready), weapon feedback, and voice-over. Some of the adaptive trigger examples include, "Firing the Combat Shotgun's Full Auto mod, the trigger will kick back with each shot" and "Activating the Chaingun's Energy Shield mod, makes the trigger harder to pull".

The next-gen version is available for all current owners, with standalone versions of the The Ancient Gods – Part One and Two DLC expansions available. DOOM Eternal is also included as a part of Xbox Game Pass.
