666, the number of the devil to some, but also the number of today’s update to DOOM Eternal. This free update, now available on the PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 seeks to deliver what Bethesda has described as a “Blood Punch-sized package of free content for all players”. Update 6.66 introduces a number of changes and new content, including the arcade-style Horde mode, a refined BATTLEMODE 2.0 experience, two new Master Levels and more.
