A free next-gen update for DOOM Eternal launches today for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, adding all manner of visual polish and a performance boost to the acclaimedย 2020 high-energy first-person shooter.

As publisher Bethesda noted in a news wireย publishedย earlier this month, and asย repeated during its recent E3 showcase, the next-gen update includes support for ray-tracing, 4K, and up to 120 FPS. Each console benefits from three new modes: a performance mode that favors high frame rates at a cost to resolution; a balanced mode that hits high-fidelity 4K at 60 FPS; and a ray-tracing mode with realistic lighting and reflections.

Additionally, the PC version of DOOM Eternal benefits from a slight update with the launch of next gen. Players can now play a new ray-tracing mode, suitable hardware allowing.

The update is 100% free for owners of DOOM Eternal of PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S/X, and PC, both physical and digital copies. Bethesda notes that a 120 Hz compatible display is required for performance mode, while balanced mode necessitates a 4K compatible display.

Here’s theย brand new trailerย for the DOOM Eternal next-gen update for a taste of what’s in store.
