Quick Answer: Does DOOM have Crossplay & Cross-Progression?

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.

Note: Only the 2024 DOOM + DOOM II re-release has crossplay; the original release and older ports do not. There is no cross-progression and no platform matchmaking — you share a numeric room code, and everyone must own the updated version.

Technical Details

How DOOM Online Play Works

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.

What's in the DOOM + DOOM II Re-Release

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.

DOOM Release & Platforms

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.
