DOOM was very popular when it first launched in May 2016 but unfortunately, the game’s multiplayer base didn’t end up staying healthy for very long. A big reason for this is that Bethesda split up the player base by releasing map packs, which isn’t a very good system unless you happen to be Call of Duty. Now this week, Bethesda is going back and fixing that with DOOM version 6.66, which makes all multiplayer content free and resets all progression back to zero.

This is essentially a reboot for DOOM’s multiplayer. All season pass content for the game is now free, adding in nine new maps, three extra guns, three new demons, new armour sets and more. The multiplayer levelling system has also received some changes, everyone starts at zero to create a level playing field but now instead of random unlocks, players can work towards specific items by completing in-game challenges.
