Bethesda Softworks has officially released a new free update for DOOM Eternal as next-gen console owners will get the full effect. Technically, the game just got two updates, the first one being a next-gen update that includes improved visuals, increased performance, support for ray tracing, 4K resolution at 60 FPS, and a new 120 FPS mode for console players. Basically, an overall improvement that doesn't feel like you're playing a previous-gen title. Meanwhile, the game also got "Update 6" for free, which you can get just by updating the game, which has thrown in the new Taras Nabad Master Level and a new Battlemode arena. We have all the details below, including trailers showing off everything on PlayStation and Xbox.

DOOM Eternal New Master Level: Taras Nabad 

Update 6 also includes a new Master Level for players on all systems to take on. The capital of Argent D'Nur, Taras Nabad was once the victim of a major demonic invasion that further cemented the legend of the DOOM Slayer. Now it's time to return to the city in the Master Level challenge to show those demons that the first time wasn't a fluke!

New Battlemode Arena & More 

DOOM Eternal's 2v1 Battlemode is also getting some new turf with an all-new arena: Corrosion. Update 6 also features a host of BATTLEMODE improvements, enhancing DOOM Eternal's multiplayer mode with multiple bandwidth optimizations, bug fixes and a whole host of balance changes.
