DOOM Eternal PC requirements and specs

As one of the most anticipated games of 2020, DOOM Eternal is set to land on consoles and PCs with all the subtlety of a wrecking ball. As a follow up to the wildly popular DOOM 2016, this loose re-imagining of DOOM 2: Hell on Earth is sure to be an exhilarating playthrough as well as a technical marvel. To be sure that your PC is capable of handling a full-scale invasion of satanic Moon demons, make sure to check out the official system requirements. Developer id Software was also kind enough to offer some additional info on system specs needs to meet certain performance criteria, should you be concerned about what kind of hardware you need to play the game with maxed-out settings.

We wrote up a build guide for DOOM Eternal last month based on speculation of how the game would perform on modern PC hardware. Luckily, the recommendation proved to be adequate for running the game on very high settings at frame rates beyond 60Hz. If you want to ensure a similar level of performance on your machine with DOOM Eternal, make sure to check out the official requirements and specs below.
