DOOM Update 2 Released For Double XP Weekend July 29, 2016

After performing just over three hours of maintenence on the DOOM multiplayer servers in anticipation for the game’s second major update, Bethesda and id Software have released the second update for DOOM simultaneously on all of its available platforms. The new update brings in some bug fixes alongside a lot of new multiplayer content including new multiplayer game modes.

To celebrate the release of the new update, Bethesda is hosting a Double XP weekend starting now. That’s right, anyone playing DOOM multiplayer will earn twice the amount of XP they would normally get for each match. This should make it faster for those trying to get the Rank 5 achievement/trophy this weekend.

DOOM Update 2 must be downloaded before you can resume online play.  Depending on your platform and if you already had the previous game patch installed, Update 2 can weigh in at around 12-13GB.

DOOM is out now on PC, Xbox One and PS4.
