Thanks to a recent ESRB rating posting, we now know a Nintendo 64 classic is receiving a PS5 port. Although its PS4 port is currently playable on Sony’s latest console platform, a newer version could take advantage of the better hardware.

Nintendo 64 shooter Doom 64 is coming to PS5

Yes, Doom 64 is getting a native PS5 port. Besides the platforms, not much is known about this newer iteration of the id Software shooter. Sometimes, newly released ports introduce a new set of trophies to earn, or new features that take advantage of the more powerful hardware. However, that is not always the case. We won’t really know until it is formally revealed.

Here is the full rating summary of Doom 64 from the ESRB:

“This is a first-person shooter in which players assume the role of a lone space marine battling demonic forces on Mars and in Hell. Players use machine guns, shotguns, rocket launchers, plasma rifles, and chainsaws to kill demonic creatures and mutated human soldiers in frenetic combat. Enemies emit large splatters of blood when shot and collapse into bloody chucks of flesh when killed. Battles are accompanied by realistic gunfire, large explosions, and screams of pain. Some levels depict mutilated body parts and severed heads on spikes and/or hooked chains.”

Doom 64 originally released in 1997. Originally developed by Midway, it continues the story told in Doom, Doom 2, and Final Doom. Players can expect the usual gameplay from the classic shooter franchise as they slay hellish demons over 30 levels.

Currently, the Doom franchise is handled by Bethesda, a company under Xbox’s umbrella. However, the green gaming brand has not been shy with bringing its games to its competition’s platform. Games like Pentiment and Sea of Thieves have all been brought to the PS5. PlayStation gamers can expect to play the Doom Slayer’s latest journey with Doom: The Dark Ages, which is scheduled for a 2025 launch.
