Doom’s original 1993 release is still one of the most popular and iconic games of all time.

Thanks to its long-enduring modding community and how easy it is to port and run, gamers are still enjoying Doom to this day.

There have been many new games released in the series over the years, with the Doom reboot also being extremely popular.

Bethesda just announced that it has released a massive nine-game upgrade for anyone who owns the original Doom or Doom 2.

No matter which platform you play Doom on, you will be able to claim the new Doom collection for absolutely nothing.

If you own Doom or Doom 2 for Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch or PC, you can claim the new edition as a free upgrade.

As long as your console or computer is connected to the internet and updates are on, then your game will automatically update to this new version.

The new Doom + Doom 2 collection not only includes these two games, but a number of other bonus games, including the all-new Legacy of Rust.

This collection also allows up to 16 people to play together in multiplayer modes, along with 25 additional Deathmatch maps to add to the existing 18.

Here’s everything you get as part of the free upgrade.

  • Doom
  • Doom 2
  • Doom 2: Master Levels
  • TNT: Evilution
  • The Plutonia Experiment
  • No Rest for the Living
  • Sigil
  • Legacy of Rust
  • Deathmatch map pack

There are a number of other benefits to the free upgrade that’s not just to do with extra content.

A number of new accessibility features have been added, such as new fonts, a text-to-speech option and the ability to turn off screen flashing.

The team has also included a new mod system, making it easier than ever before to alter the games.

There will also be a room code and cross-play feature so that you can play with others no matter which platform they play on.

The only downside is that your save file will not carry over, but you can still play your old copy of the game with your existing save file after the update.
