| Feature | Supported | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Crossplay | Yes | All listed platforms can play together. |
| Cross-Progression | No | Saves and unlocks stay tied to each platform. |

Yes — DOOM II supports split screen / couch co-op, so players can share one screen on supported platforms.

DOOM II: Hell on Earth (1994) originally supported multiplayer only over LAN, serial cable or modem. The enhanced DOOM + DOOM II re-release (August 2024, Nightdive KEX engine) adds online co-op and deathmatch for up to 16 players with full cross-platform play. A host creates the match, a four-letter room code shows in the pre-game lobby, and PC, PlayStation, Xbox and Switch players all join the same session by entering that code.
DOOM II introduced the iconic Super Shotgun, a run of new demons (the Mancubus, Arch-vile, Revenant, Hell Knight and Pain Elemental) and the Icon of Sin final boss, presented as a single 32-level campaign rather than separate episodes. The 2024 bundle pairs it with The Ultimate DOOM, the new 'Legacy of Rust' episode from id Software, Nightdive and MachineGames, and a large set of add-on campaigns, plus 4K/120 FPS support, an optional Andrew Hulshult soundtrack and an in-game mod browser.
DOOM II: Hell on Earth was released by id Software in 1994. 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 II received the enhanced version as a free upgrade.
Yes. Through the enhanced DOOM + DOOM II re-release (August 2024), DOOM II supports full cross-platform online play across PC, PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo Switch, for co-op and deathmatch, with up to 16 players.
