Doom Eternal doesn’t have microtransactions

Doom Eternal will not have microtransactions, Creative Director Hugo Martin has confirmed.

Responding to a fan in Facebook comment that’s been screencapped and shared online, Martin asserted that Doom Eternal has “no store”.

“Nothing [you] can unlock in Eternal with XP has anything to do with player abilities or content that would impact your game in [any way],” he wrote. “The only thing you can unlock with XP is [cosmetics]. Those cosmetics have no impact on how [you] play, they just look cool.

Eternal is a $60 game, not a free-to-play game or a mobile game – we are giving [you] a complete experience with no store just like you’d expect. Unlocking skins with XP is a part of the experience if you care about that stuff, or [you] can completely ignore it.”

Doom Eternal heads to heads to Windows PC, Xbox One, PS4 and Stadia from 20 March 2020. A Nintendo Switch release will follow at a later time. We’ve recently previewed the title here.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
