DOOM on Switch: Yes to multiplayer, no to SnapMap

DOOM on Switch will offer up multiplayer but not SnapMap, Bethesda recently confirmed.

Speaking with Engadget, Bethesda confirmed that DOOM‘s online multiplayer component will be available, but won’t be packaged inside the game’s cartridge. Instead, the multiplayer will need to be acquired via a digital patch. It, alongside all previous DLC, will be available for free.

Bethesda also confirmed that SnapMap, the game’s map-building tool, will not be available in the game’s Switch release.

DOOM is available now on Windows PC, Xbox One and PS4. It heads to Switch later this year. We reviewed the game here.

Steve is the founder of Stevivor, which itself is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’ -- that made more sense back in 2001 when Steve first arrived in the country and 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.

Steve has recently gathered a career's worth of writing on swright.au, his personal portfolio.
