Nintendo UK has published a trailer for Doom to highlight the game’s positive reception on Switch. Have a look at the video below.

Digital Foundry is back with a new Switch technical analysis. Doom, which pushes the system to its max, is one very interesting title to look at.

It’s to be expected, but Doom’s visual quality has dropped on Switch. It has an adaptive resolution, with it usually sitting at around 600p when docked. The depth-of-field buffer and alpha effects appear to be rendered at a quarter resolution. Temporal anti-aliasing can make the action look a bit blurry on the big screen.

If you’ve purchased Doom on Switch today, you should be able to have your game at version 1.1. Bethesda prepared a day-one update.

The patch includes Multiplayer functionality, additional game fixes, and audio for supported languages other than English. The update should clock in at around 8GB.

Doom is out today on Switch, and a launch trailer for the game has gone live. We’ve attached the video below.

The release of Doom on Switch is almost here. There are some people who have managed to get the game early it seems, with one person putting together a video comparing it to the PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One versions. See how the Switch edition stacks up below.

Update: You can pre-load Doom on the North American Switch eShop now as well.


Original: Pre-loading on the Switch eShop is beginning to become more and more common. The latest game to have made this option available is Doom, which arrives later this week. Switch owners in Europe can begin pre-loading Doom now.

On another note, we also have an update on the file size. It was sitting at around 13.4GB. Now, however, it’s at 21.3GB. That likely means multiplayer will be built in rather than a separate download, despite what was thought last week.

Thanks to Matthew M for the tip.
