Now, we can't test the entire game, of course, but we did give the first half of the game a decent workout on all three consoles in all available modes. The only noticeable exception is checkpoint stutter - where the game momentarily pauses for a split-second to auto-save your progress. Meanwhile, the excellent GPU scalability found in idTech 7 takes care of everything else, giving you a rock-solid lock to 60fps or 120fps in all relevant modes on all consoles.

We've seen some titles struggle with high frame-rate modes but in a world where a £150 Core i5 can run Doom Eternal on PC at upwards of 300fps, a mere 120fps seems like a walk in the park for the CPUs in the new consoles. We've not talked about performance yet because fundamentally, the story is rather uninteresting - in a good way! In almost all scenarios, Doom Eternal hits its 60fps and 120fps targets. To our eyes, the game simply rolls out at a locked 60 frames from start to finish and of all the modes available, this provides the sharpest image. There's little we can say about this mode except to note that while DRS is present, it's mostly as a fallback measure.

Watch on YouTube Here's the Digital Foundry deep dive into the PC version of the new upgrade.įinally, id delivers a balanced mode, which retains the ultra settings but turns off ray tracing, deploying the freed up GPU resources on increased resolution: 4K on PS5 and Xbox Series X, and 1440p on Series S. Finally, Series S aims to deliver 120 frames per second at a maximum of 1080p, though drops to 70 percent on both axes is possible, which is a touch higher than 720p. Xbox Series X operates at a dynamic 1800p, while PlayStation 5 tops out at 1584p - and it is visibly blurrier. This looks to offer something akin to the last-gen Doom Eternal experience at twice the performance level.

Next up, there's the 120Hz mode, which works best on HDMI 2.1 displays, allowing for the game's full resolution to successfully resolve at full frame-rate. Bearing in mind how scalable the game is across the board, its absence is disappointing. Meanwhile, Xbox Series S has no RT support at all. In terms of pixel counts, Series X does seem to resolve higher numbers in stress points compared to PlayStation 5.

There's the sense that something is missing here, that the image isn't quite as sharp as it could be and that applies to both consoles. Dynamic resolution scaling is also in effect, with a top ceiling of 3200x1800, while drops to around 70 percent on both axes are observed, with the absolute minimum set to 50 percent. On PlayStation 5 and Series X, the same RT features are in place and they are effectively on par with the PC's medium RT quality level, with reflections rendered at one third the current resolution.Įlsewhere, expect settings broadly on par with the PC version at ultra, but for some reason, anisotropic filtering seems to be disabled on all consoles, diminishing image quality on textures observed from oblique angles.

There's a dramatic level of scalability in the implementation - which goes far beyond the 'baked in' presets - and that's accessible via the command line.

It's very, very impressive.īut returning to the next-gen upgrades, we've already looked in-depth at the PC version of the game with a particular focus on the real-time reflections id software has added to the game's aesthetic, dramatically improving upon the standard cube maps and screen-space reflections the game has had since launch. Eight game modes in total are tested across three different consoles.
