Doom Eternal current-gen upgrade now available, a bit whack on PS5

It’s time to frag at 60FPS with ray-tracing.

The Doom Eternal current-gen upgrade is now available for PS5 and Xbox Series S & X, Bethesda has announced. While it’s smooth sailing for Xbox One players moving to Xbox Series S & X, players moving from PS4 to PS5 will have it tough.

Anyone who owns an Xbox One or PS4 version of the game will automatically be entitled to the free Xbox Series or PS5 version, but Bethesda has been quick to point out that PS4 game progression cannot carry over onto PS5.

“While online progression is preserved between PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 consoles via the user’s Bethesda.net account, Doom Eternal campaign save data will not transfer between consoles,” Bethesda stated.

Save progress between Xbox One and Xbox Series S & X is fine, handled through Smart Delivery.

If you can live with replaying the campaign again on PS5, you’ll be able to take advantage of a variety of graphics modes. We’ve listed them all below alongside options for Xbox Series S & X.
