Developer Id Software has rolled out a new update for Doom Eternal that makes some changes to the game, including adding another Master Level for free and increasing the resolution on Xbox Series S and Series X. Check out Update 4's full patch notes below.

Players looking for a challenge may have run through Doom Eternal's Master Levels already, but Id Software has added "an entirely new combat experience" to the challenge levels. Super Gore Nest, the latest free Master Level, features a plethora of environmental hazards and conditions meant to challenge players in ways the already-difficult campaign hasn't. With a new Master Level comes new rewards, too, including player icons, nameplates, and cosmetics.

Update 4 also increases the resolution on the latest Xbox consoles. Through dynamic resolution scaling, the Series S reaches 1080p at 60 Hz while the Series X hits 4K at 60 Hz.

There are other changes made with Update 4 as well. This includes speeding up player velocity when using the Super Shotgun Meathook mod, adding quick swap loading screen tips for Battlemode and Campaign, fixing crashes, and adding new Master Level difficulty settings.

On top of these adjustments, Id Software announced that another free Event will run from December 10 to January 14. Called Gift Wrap and Tear, the event features an assortment of unlockable in-game items all themed around Christmas, including a Santa-clad Doomguy.

This update comes not long after it was announced that Doom Eternal will make its way to Xbox Game Pass for PC this week--though it doesn't include the game's The Ancient Gods DLC episode. Furthermore, Doom Eternal finally launches on Nintendo Switch next week.

Doom Eternal Update 4 Patch Notes

Free New Master Level: Super Gore Nest

An entirely new combat experience, built from the ground up, meant to challenge the player beyond anything seen in the base campaign.
Environmental hazards and conditions keep the player on their toes and change the way they think about approaching combat.
All new rewards like player icons, nameplates, and cosmetics all earnable through completing Super Gore Nest Master Level in different difficulties and modes.

Classic Mode

Start the Master Level with only the Combat Shotgun. You'll need to find the rest of the weapons and mods throughout the level in order to fill out your arsenal and have a chance to survive!

Extra-Life Difficulty Added

We've added Extra-Life mode for those looking to hone their skills and take on a higher challenge as it's permadeath once you run out of Extra Lives. This is a great new option for those training for an Ultra Nightmare run. Time to go hunting for secrets!

Ultra Nightmare Difficulty Added

For the ultimate test of skill for those black belt Slayers, we've added Ultra Nightmare difficulty for this new Master Level. This means permadeath without the chance to gain Extra Lives.
