The DOOM train is officially kicking it into high gear, especially since the game is set to release in one more week. Alright, first thing is first. All you PC gamers, which includes me, Bethesda has released the PC system requirements to play DOOM. And surprisingly the requirements are actually pretty tame when it comes to hardware, though the recommended do call for a slightly more powerful GPU.

So if you’re planning on playing it on PC, you better make sure your system aligns with what is below.
