Doom Eternal and Elder Scrolls Online will be coming to next-gen consoles!

Bethesda announced the availability of Doom Eternal and Elder Scrolls Online on next-gen consoles, i.e, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X.

The company announced the next-gen ports in a post that was posted on their website. The statement also noted that players who already own or buy games on either Xbox One or PlayStation 4 will be updated to the next-gen models free of charge.

Bethesda said it is hard to make sure that both titles are backward compatible when the new consoles are launched.  More information about the next-gen version of both games, such as the planned release dates and several updates, will arrive in the coming weeks and months.

Bethesda stated in the announcement that “we are committed to offering regular upgrades to current-generation console owners of popular Bethesda brands so we will bring on to the new generation of consoles”. However, the company noted that it has not received any specific information on other next-gen ports yet.

These are only two games that have been reported to receive such free updates and improvements for the PS5 and Xbox Series X.

The company did not specify when the games would be released on the next-gen consoles. But noted that current game owners would be allowed to update to the game’s Xbox Series X or PS5 models when they release. It’s still focusing on making both titles backward compliant on next-gen devices when they’re released later this year.

One will likely get more detail on what the Xbox Series X and PS5 versions of these titles will be able to do at this year’s QuakeCon. It’s taking place from 7 to 9 August and will be broadcast online due to the current Covid-19 pandemic. The program will feature round-the-clock programming, as well as live streams, competitions, fundraising, and more.
