Doom’s mandatory online login will be made optional in future release

by Daniel VuckovicJuly 28, 2019

When Bethesda dropped the three classic Doom games on the Switch earlier this weekend everyone was happy. Well until you had to sign up for a Bethesda account to play the 1990s PC games with no online content.

Well it didn’t take long them to reverse this decision, with Bethesda saying there’s an update on the way to make it optional. Which apparently it was always meant to be.

Update on our new classic DOOM releases:

The BethesdaNet login requirement was included for the Slayers Club, to reward members for playing the classic DOOM games.

The login should be optional, and we are working on changing the requirement to optional now.
