Doom Eternal is a first-person shooter sci-fi game made by id Software published by Bethesda Softworks. The game is a sequel to Doom (2016) which was a reboot of the classic Doom series, and uses the newer Id Tech 7 engine.
The game was released March 20, 2020 on Steam and Bethesda.net using the Denuvo Anti-Tamper DRM. It was discovered that a DRM-free version of the exe was contained within the game files, which was subsequently patched out on release day.[1] The game had a popular launch on Steam with a peak of 84,865 players in March 2020[2], however Bethesda.net player numbers are not publicly known.
Doom Eternal was patched with Denuvo Anti-Cheat on May 14, 2020 , which drew considerable criticism because it utilises a kernel mode driver, and it broke the Proton compatibility layer for Linux users.[3]
Doom Eternal's creative director announced that the game would not contain microtransactions on January 27, 2020.[4] However on March 10, 2020, details of new cosmetics were released as content tied with Amazon Prime subscriptions.[5]
Future updates are coming in the form of microtransactions planned until July 2020.[6]
Modding is not officially integrated, but a small community exists on Nexus Mods. Doom and Doom II are playable within Doom Eternal, but the WAD files are also included in the game files, and can be played externally using Doom source ports.

The minimum requirements are for 1080p at 60 FPS with Low quality settings. The recommended requirements are for 1080p at 60 FPS with High quality settings.
