Here's Sousa's tweet announcing the feature: PC gamers, however, are known for wanting to push their more-easily upgraded hardware to the limits, so the release from any framerate limitations should come in as a big crowd-pleaser for the more hardcore gamers out there. In comparison, the console editions of the game will be locked to 60 FPS and run at a 1080P resolution, which is just about as good as anyone can possibly hope in the current console generation. The lead rendering programmer at the studio, Tiago Sousa, just put out a Tweet stating that DOOM won't have any framerate lock on the PC version of the game, meaning gamers with high-end rigs can feel free to push their copy of DOOM to the limit. An employee from id Software confirms that DOOM won't have any framerate limitations for the PC release, though console gamers are still locked in to 60FPS.Įven though the open beta for DOOM is already underway, it's clear that id Software is still striving to make some significant technical advances.
