Some players have gotten their hands on an exclusive DOOM beta for a while now, but the upcoming multiplayer shooter will be hosting an open beta the weekend April 15 through the 17. The news was broken this morning on the game’s official Twitter account, and confirmed for PC, PS4 and Xbox One.
Pre-load for the beta will begin on April 12, so players can download the game prior to the beta opening, guaranteeing the most time possible in the actual beta.

The client is available for download already. I want to try it out. Who else is interested?
I will probably give it a go.
An event…
Beta was released early Thursday evening and will be available to play until Sunday night . I played about fours hours last and had a blast every game .It is a fast pace , 6 vs 6 FPS on small maps with twisting pathways and upper/lower levels . Game may not have any new features compared to other games out but it is just plain damn fun to play . Can’t wait to get off work play the Beta some more .
I was just playing 2 matches of this and I have to say it was lots of fun. Reminded me a lot of old school shooters like Quake and Unreal Tournament with some modern shooter features.
Now I was never really big on those games back in the day so I can’t see myself paying $60 for the multiplayer in Doom. But if you want something that is fast paced and chaotic you’ll have a blast.
I loved UT. It didn’t quite feel as good. Don’t even play UT anymore…
