Q: Is there an Update 1.0.4 or 1.1.0 for Doom (2016) on Switch?

A: No. The final major patch for Doom 2016 on Switch was 1.0.3. The sequel, Doom Eternal, has its own update chain (including 1.0.3 for Eternal), but Doom 2016 stops at 103.

While Panic Button is known for miracles, the Switch hardware has limits. The 1.0.3 update didn't rewrite the laws of physics, but it did offer some much-needed stability improvements.

  • Texture Pop-in: Minor improvements were made to texture streaming, though some pop-in remains inherent to the engine on Switch.
  • Crash Fixes: The update addressed several hard crashes that occurred during level transitions in the campaign and during heavy multiplayer matches.
