Here are a few levels of action from DOOM 64 Played on a PC for those looking for some updated retro fun.
Doom Eternal, Bethesda and Id decided to simultaneously port what is undoubtedly the most elusive Doom title to date. Doom 64 was, until now, a Nintendo 64 exclusive title, meaning that for years barely anyone played it.
We’re teaming up with Limited Run Games to bring you a tangible, collectible, cradle-in-your-armsable re-release of DOOM 64 for PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch systems! For you hardcore aficionados of physical media (and old-school demon slaying) Limited Run Games is also offering the DOOM 64 Classic Edition. The Classic Edition contains the Standard version of DOOM 64, plus retro-style packaging and a commemorative (non-functional) metal cartridge reminiscent of the Nintendo 64 era.
Doesn’t MS own you now Bethesda? I can’t see the reason why a physical version is not available on all three?
Doom 64 was planned way in advance by Limited Run Games, long before the Zenimax deal
Not to mention I don't think I've ever seen Limited Run Games release an edition on the Xbox, everything so far has been PS4, Nintendo Switch and original formats like Gameboy, NES, SNES. It's just how LRG work.
Yeah I'm a little mystified how people who frequent this site don't know that LRG never does Xbox versions.
Historically I think it's because Xbox didn't want to do/wouldn't let companies order such small runs of physical copies...
Yeah, LRG mentioned MS demanded 10,000 copies MOQ, though this was a while ago so I'm not sure if it's changed now.
"Doesn’t MS own you now Bethesda".
Ownership of Bethesda will not be complete until q2 2021.

I don't think I have seen any of these limited editions physical disk for xbox. Ms does own them yes but this deal could be before Ms acquired them just like sony's deals with bethesda
Microsoft allows Zenimax to honor any prior commitments that were made before the acquisition.
It's likely this was worked out before MS's most recent purchase, and it's Limited Run who's making these physical copies, not Bethesda. So...ask them. Heck if I know the answer to that.
It's got nothing to do with the Bethesda buyout or Gamepass.
Limited Run pretty much never does XBOX versions, why? because Microsoft demands a significantly higher minimum cap for production runs.
Sony and Nintendo allow a lower minimum cap, thus Limited Run can actually afford to buy/print these 'limited runs'
protip: It's not hard to talk to the staff at limited run
Funny. Where are all of the “exclusives are anti consumer” comments now. Exclusives are good now? Oh, I see.
Looks like another retro title is coming backed by some sales as DOOM 64 is coming to Google Stadia.
It is all connected to their system. If you want the version you get with Google Stadia then it can stream to your television or certain Android phones.
