Bethesda Softworks and id Software have revealed that DOOM Eternal’s next-gen update will be available on June 29. The update enables “improved visuals, increased performance and support for ray-tracing, or 4K resolution at 60 frames per second, or an optional 120 FPS mode” for the Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 versions of the game.
