Oct 17, 2024 10:24 PM

  The DOOM beta was confirmed two days ago by Bethesda and id Software, which also released a new multiplayer trailer. The test apparently won't have any NDA, so you can talk about it and even stream it if you want.

  Today an official DOOM beta FAQ appeared on the official website, detailing the content included in the test and its system requirements.

  

WHEN IS THE CLOSED BETA TEST?

Starting: Thursday, March 31, 2016 @ 10:00 p.m. Eastern Time (UTC – 5)

  End: Sunday, April 3, 2016 @ 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time (UTC – 5)

  

HOW DO I KNOW IF I’M ELIGIBLE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE DOOM MP CLOSED BETA?

The Closed Beta will be open to those who have redeemed their DOOM Beta codes included with some physical retail copies of Wolfenstein: The New Order, and to those who pre-purchased or purchased Wolfenstein: The New Order digitally prior to May 26, 2014.

  

IS DOOM SNAP MAP OR THE SINGLE-PLAYER CAMPAIGN PART OF THE CLOSED BETA?

No. The Closed Beta is for multiplayer only.

  

WHAT CONTENT AND GAME MODES ARE FEATURED IN THE CLOSED BETA?

The Closed Beta features a limited content and feature set. The intent is to encourage people to play as many matches as possible during the Closed Beta test period.

WHAT ARE THE RECOMMENDED PC SYSTEM SPECS FOR THE CLOSED BETA?

The following system specs for the PC are for the Closed Beta and do not reflect the minimum or recommended system specs of the final game.

Usually the reverse should happen due to optimization, unless the graphics have actually been improved since.

  id Software did say they're aiming to be the best looking 1080P@60FPS game, after all. DOOM will launch on May 13 worldwide for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
