 [![Digital Foundry – Doom Eternal analysis](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/digital-foundry-doom-eternal-analysis.jpeg "Digital Foundry – Doom Eternal analysis")](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/digital-foundry-doom-eternal-analysis.jpeg)**Digital Foundry** examined the ultra-violent and acclaimed DOOM Eternal on the Nintendo Switch.

The team have come away impressed by what **Panic Button** managed to achieve with the hybrid platform. The game’s resolution maxes out in docked mode at 720p-540p and in handheld is between 612p -360p. Digital Foundry says that a 30fps frame-rate is maintained most of the time.

## [](#closing-thoughts)Closing thoughts

> Not only that, it’s clearly some of the finest work Panic Button has done yet. It exhibits many of the same sacrifices as its prior ports, but offers a considerably smoother overall frame-rate while improving resolution over the Wolfenstein titles.
>
> The fact that it delivers a near locked 30 frames per second experience versus the unstable results of the prior games is a huge achievement, especially when you factor in how much more challenging Doom Eternal is to convert across in the first place.
>
> Ultimately, this is Doom Eternal… and now it’s available to play on a handheld.
