Yes, DOOM fully supports crossplay.
Yes, DOOM supports full crossplay across PC, PlayStation 4+, Xbox One+, Nintendo Switch. This means you can play with friends regardless of their platform. Cross-progression is not supported, so your saves stay tied to the platform you play on.
DOOM is available on the following platforms:
| Feature | Supported | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Crossplay | Yes | All listed platforms can play together. |
| Cross-Progression | No | Saves and unlocks stay tied to each platform. |
| Split Screen / Couch Co-op | Yes | Two players can share one screen locally. |
No — DOOM does not support cross-progression. Saves and unlocks stay tied to the platform where you earned them.
No. There is no cross-progression or cross-save between platforms. Save games from earlier versions of DOOM are not compatible with the enhanced re-release, so your progress stays on the platform where you play.
Yes — DOOM supports split screen / couch co-op, so players can share one screen on supported platforms.
The re-release supports local split-screen for up to four players on all platforms, and up to eight players on Xbox Series X|S and PC. Split-screen players can also join online matches, so you can mix same-couch and online friends in one game.
DOOM effectively invented deathmatch and co-op first-person multiplayer back in 1993, but the original only connected players over LAN, serial cable or modem. The enhanced DOOM + DOOM II re-release (August 2024) built on Nightdive's KEX engine adds true online multiplayer for up to 16 players with full cross-platform play. One player hosts, a four-letter room code appears in the pre-game lobby, and everyone else joins by entering that code — PC, PlayStation, Xbox and Switch players all share the same session.
The 2024 bundle includes The Ultimate DOOM (all four episodes, including 'Thy Flesh Consumed') alongside DOOM II, plus a brand-new episode called 'Legacy of Rust' made by id Software, Nightdive and MachineGames, and a large library of curated add-on campaigns. It raises the frame-rate cap to 120 FPS, supports native 4K, includes an optional remixed soundtrack by Andrew Hulshult, and features an in-game mod browser for sharing community WADs.
The original DOOM was released by id Software on December 10, 1993, and is one of the most influential first-person shooters ever made. The enhanced DOOM + DOOM II re-release arrived in August 2024 on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch and PC (Steam, GOG, Epic Games Store and the Microsoft Store, including Game Pass). Owners of the earlier digital DOOM received the enhanced version as a free upgrade.
Yes. The enhanced DOOM + DOOM II re-release (August 2024) added full cross-platform online play across PC, PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo Switch, for both co-op and deathmatch, with up to 16 players per match.
Crossplay is a feature of the 2024 enhanced re-release, not the original 1993 game or older ports. The original DOOM only supported LAN, serial-link or modem multiplayer between players on the same setup.
