__Can I play DOOM 3: VR Edition on PlayStation 5? __

  • Yes. You can play DOOM 3: VR Edition on PlayStation 5 via backwards compatibility


__Known Issues __

  • Player may observe some momentary dips in frame rate during intense combat or in specific situations but do not affect gameplay in a significant manner
  • When quitting to the main menu, additional enlarged menu UI may appear in headset view momentarily
  • Hands and weapons may momentarily go through or touch UI elements in game
  • Grenade trajectory trail may not display properly when pointing straight ahead
  • Players may observe some text overlap or overflow on certain UI elements
  • Player progression can become blocked if attempting to activate the Delta Main Elevator in Delta Labs 1 before restoring power to the reactor core – this is a legacy issue from the original release

Resolution: Player must load an earlier save before interacting with the Delta Main Elevator or restart campaign progression to bypass the issue
