Doom Eternal will be released digitally only on the Nintendo Switch hybrid console

Doom Eternal is moving to a digital-only release for Nintendo Switch, leading to some confusion with customers who thought the port had been canceled when their pre-release orders have been cancelled. Doom Eternal was released on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Google Stadia and PC this year to positive reviews. It was followed by a DLC expansion called "Old Gods", which was equally warmly received.

As bad as Doom seems to be for Nintendo's family image, the 2016 shooter revival has been ported to a hybrid console, and Doom Eternal has been announced to receive the same treatment. Fans got impatient when a Switch port didn't show up months after the game's release on other consoles, but developer id Software assured them in September that its Switch launch was close.

While Doom Eternal is still on track for a Switch release, the future of Bethesda's multi-platform releases is in question. Earlier this year, Microsoft acquired Bethesda's parent ZeniMax Media for $7.5 billion. Doom Eternal has already been confirmed to be coming to Game Pass as part of the deal, and it's not out of the question that high-profile titles from the developer could become Xbox exclusives in the future. For now, all Microsoft wants to say is that it will be the platform of choice for playing "first or best" games. versions of Bethesda games.

Fortunately for everyone who's still waiting to play Doom Eternal on the same console they play Animal Crossing on, it looks like the game is not only still in development, but is gearing up for launch soon.
