Summary
BethesdagaveDoomfans a reason to celebrate last month bysurprise dropping a Doom + Doom 2 bundlewith enhanced versions of both the original games and extra content thrown in. Even better, if you already own either Doom orDoom 2on one of the applicable platforms, then you’re able to claim the bundle and all of its content as a free update. It turns out even if you don’t already own one of the first two Doom games you can get and keep Doom + Doom 2’s enhanced edition via aPS Plusloophole.
The original Doom and its sequel are both available on PS Plus Premium separately. However, as is the case with anything in the Extra and Premium libraries, should a day ever come when those games are removed from those libraries, if you haven’t previously bought them then your access to them will disappear. The Doom + Doom 2 bundle is not available through PS Plus, but it seems you’re able to still claim it for free even if you’re playing versions of the original game accessed through Premium.
The loophole wasshared on ResetEra, andthen by Wario64, after Doom and Doom 2 were re-added to the PS Plus Premium library. The original post implies that even though those who are playing the games through Premium have not bought either of the games, once they have used them to claim the Doom + Doom 2 bundle for free, since it isn’t tied to PS Plus, it will be yours to keep for free. No disappearing games once they’re removed from Plus since, well, they weren’t there in the first place.
Free If You Already Own One Of The Games, And Maybe Even If You Don’t
Doom + Doom II
WHERE TO PLAY
The Doom + Doom 2 bundle not only combines enhanced versions of both the original games in the series, but it adds a brand new episode and a lot of additional multiplayer maps.
Part of me would like to think that even if this was a mistake, Bethesda will shrug and let those who used it keep the bundle. Not only has it been handing it out as a free update to all Doom and Doom 2 owners, but the bundle is only $9.99 to those who opted to just buy it instead. Between the number of people using the loophole and how muchPlayStationhas paid to have the first Doom games on PS Plus, you’d have to assume any potential losses are covered.
