Switch version of Doom displays in 720p whether docked or undocked, 30fps confirmed

Doom does indeed run at 30fps and it will also display in 720p.

Earlier this week, it was reported Doom would run at 30fps, which Bethesda has confirmed.

According to the company, Doom will also display in 720p whether docked or undocked. That said, Doom will "appear different" when played docked, only because it's being displayed on a larger screen.

This is according to what a Bethesda spokesperson told Rolling Stone. They also said from the start Panic Button, which is working with id Software on developing the port, targeted a consistent 30fps.

It was also confirmed the reason Doom's multiplayer is a separate 9GB download was so the single-player and arcade modes would fit on a 16GB cartridge.

Unlike Skyrim though, it will not feature motion controls on Switch.
