Doom Eternal’s requirements are as brutal as the Doomslayer
If there's one thing I don't like about PC gaming, it's waiting for a publisher to release the minimum requirements for that game I want. When you have an aging PC or a budget build, it can be a cover-your-eyes moment. Some games aren't so rough. But Doom Eternal is pretty rough. Publisher Bethesda and developer Id Software released the requirements to play Doom Eternal on PC this week.
