1993’s Doom Requires A Bethesda Account To Play On Switch, Quickly Becomes An Internet Joke

Screenshot: Kotaku (Doom) Today, Bethesda announced the first three Doom games were all be coming to modern consoles including the Nintendo Switch. What Bethesda didn’t mention was that you’d first need to create a Bethesda.net account in order to play them. ResetEra’s Nibel pointed out the requirement on Twitter earlier this afternoon. While Doom I and II only require you to login to a Bethesda account once to unlock the game, Doom III will require it every time you play in order for all of the features and content to be available.

This step can itself be a bit complicated, relying on a combination of the “hold smuggling” and “walk on horse” glitches.
