Find out exactly which games are in the DOOM Anthology, what platforms it supports, and whether it's worth buying for classic and modern DOOM fans.
Quick Answer
The DOOM Anthology includes five critically acclaimed games: DOOM (1993), DOOM II, DOOM 64, DOOM (2016), and DOOM Eternal. It's a solid buy if you want the full single-player saga in one package, but check platform support before you commit.
What Makes the Anthology Different from Buying Games Separately
The DOOM Anthology bundles more than three decades of demon slaying into one purchase. Instead of tracking down each title individually, you get the classic games that popularized the first-person shooter genre alongside the fan-favorite franchise reboot and its sequel.
This is convenient if you're new to the series or want a single library entry. But if you already own DOOM (2016) or DOOM Eternal, the anthology's value drops—you'd be paying for duplicates.
Also note that the anthology is available in multiple platform options, so verify which platforms are supported before ordering. The catalog doesn't list every platform, so check the product page for the exact options.
Trade-Offs to Consider
The main trade-off is price versus ownership. At USD 52.79 (compared to a catalog price of USD 79.99), the anthology is a discount if you need all five games. But if you only want the classic DOOM titles, you might find them cheaper individually.
Another trade-off is the lack of multiplayer or extra content details in the catalog facts. The anthology focuses on the single-player campaigns, so if you're after online modes or bonus content, you'll need to check each game separately.
Finally, the anthology is a digital or physical bundle depending on the platform. If you prefer physical media, confirm the format before buying.
Decision Rules for the DOOM Anthology
- If you're new to DOOM: Buy the anthology. It gives you the full single-player story from 1993 to the modern era, so you can play in order and see how the franchise evolved. Start with DOOM (1993) to appreciate the series' roots.
- If you already own DOOM (2016) or DOOM Eternal: Skip the anthology unless you want the classic games. You'd be paying for duplicates you already have. Add up the cost of the classic games individually before deciding.
- If you're a collector or want physical media: Check the platform options carefully. The catalog doesn't specify whether all platforms get a physical disc, so verify before ordering. Contact support or read the product page for format details.
