Exciting Updates for Classic Doom Fans Ahead of The Dark Ages Release
The anticipation builds for devoted Doom enthusiasts as new content emerges while waiting for the release of The Dark Ages. Recently, Bethesda has enhanced Doom + Doom II, which is part of a series of remastered editions celebrating these iconic id Software titles. An important update introduced on Tuesday now brings multiplayer mod support into the mix.
When launched back in August, this collection—available across PC, PS5/PS4, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch—offered both mods and multiplayer features; however, players couldn’t use them simultaneously. With Bethesda’s latest patch released on Tuesday, gamers can now enjoy multiplayer gameplay utilizing mods—as long as they coordinate adequately with their peers.
How to Utilize Multiplayer Mod Support
For players eager to dive into this feature-rich experience, there’s some preparation required. Match hosts are responsible for activating each specific mod prior to entering the multiplayer interface. Additionally, every participant must subscribe to identical mods before they can join a match together. It is essential that only mods created with Vanilla DOOM, DeHackEd, MBF21 or BOOM are utilized to ensure compatibility.

Packed with innovative features such as intense mech battles and mounts like cyber dragons that players can ride into combat—it’s hard to imagine a more thrilling prospect for a new installment in the Doom franchise!
