Fans of Bethesda’s 2016 release of Doom will be happy to know that Free Update 3 is now available and comes with multiplayer Deathmatch and Private Match capabilities. Head on over to the Bethesta community for information on Free Update 3 of Doom. Personally, I really enjoy the latest release of Doom and it is one of the best optimized titles available for PC. It doesn’t take a powerful PC to run Doom and get excellent visuals, so if you’ve been on the fence about Doom because you were worried about system limitations, you might want to give it a whirl. The demo is still available for free on Steam by clicking the “Download Demo” button, as well. We’ve posted the update notes below the official update video:
