DOOM Eternal is Now Available for Nintendo Switch

Id Software’s DOOM Eternal is out now for the Nintendo Switch, available digitally via the Nintendo eShop. While a physical retail version currently isn’t happening, Switch players will finally get to experience the stellar first person shooter. Total storage space required should be 18.8 GB.

Ported by Panic Button, DOOM Eternal on Switch features all of the same content as the other versions, like the campaign and BattleMode. Some new features include gyroscopic aiming controls but these can be disabled as the player sees fit. While the visuals are definitely pared down, it’s a miracle that the game runs at all on the platform.

Check out our review for the base game here, which is currently available for Xbox One, PS4, PC, and Google Stadia. It’s also receiving free upgrades for Xbox Series X/S and PS5, though id Software doesn’t have a release window for the same. Stay tuned for more information, especially regarding the release of The Ancient Gods – Part 1 DLC for Switch.
