DOOM Eternal And The Elder Scrolls Online Are Coming To Xbox Series X And PS5

Looks like some winning news here. The Elder Scrolls Online and DOOM Eternal are coming to Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5!

Are we really gonna make an article every time a big AAA gets to be ported to the PS5 an XSX?!? They are backwards compatible consoles. It would be newsworthy if any AAA was not compatible with next gen!

[ocelot07]

It's nice to know these games will be getting a PS5/XSX update. Plus the PS4/XB1 versions will be converted to PS5/XSX version for free. It's not about BC. Other than them saying they are working hard for the PS4/XB1 versions to work on PS5/XSX via BC for launch day.

Very well said.

Facts

I hear ya but after the underwhelming announcement of GTAV at the PS5 event I have zero interest in playing old games even "enhanced" when I get a PS5.

I think backwards compatibility is neat but not something I intend to use. If I wanted to play enhanced versions of TESO or Doom I would have played them on PC. Don't expect them to go above and beyond for a free next gen patch. When I get a next gen console I want next gen games.

[Garethvk]

Considering they will likely be enhanced and considering that Bethesda thought it was important enough news to announce and feature at Quakecon I would say there is interest.

[porkChop]

Both games make sense. You want to keep your MMO alive so you bring it with you to the next gen. DOOM Eternal has a lot of eye candy left that the PS4 and XBO weren't able to tap into, so port the full PC version to the new systems.

[Garethvk]

I am curious how much of the long-term plans for DOOM Eternal they will reveal tomorrow at Quakecon.

So should I invest in ESO? TBH I've been contemplating on if it's too late to get into this game.

[Garethvk]

If you have a good deal of time and patience. They have updated and changed it a great deal since launch but like other games in the genre you will spend a good deal of time travelling and questing.

[ocelot07]

Honestly I have not played it in about 3-4 years. But when I did it was pretty fun. Why not buy the base game and see what you think? I have seen it for as little as £3 in the UK

So I assume it's dirt cheap world wide these days.

Just a heads up, also going to XSX/PS5: Almost every active MMO on current-gen consoles.

[porkChop]

Yeah, pretty much. They're not going to let their fanbases die. Smart business.

[anonymousfan]

Yup and I bet their "free upgrades" will be pretty basic too... Just the equivalent of PC version with maxed settings running on SSD nothing radically new.

I mean even TESV special edition on PS4/XO was pretty underwhelming and was a lucrative port! Bethesda wont be giving away brand new games just small mediocre patches.

[Christopher]

I wouldn't be too pessimistic. DCUO went from PS3 to PS4/XBO w/1080p and 60fps output options.

I would expect TESO to be closer to PC in spec w/4k support. They already do more on XBO X than on base and it's noticeable. But, the game itself isn't breaking trends. It is an MMO, after all.

[BillyG0AT]

upgraded or back compat? if they're gonna upgrade doom then ima buy it while its still on sale

[Garethvk]

Upgrade is the word.

[BillyG0AT]

Awesome, thank you.

[NeoGamer232]

LOL. But when are the going to announce yet another remaster of Skyrim for XSX and PS5?
