DOOM free Update 5 has now been released and it comes with a few things DOOM players might appreciate.

The content includes multiplayer bots, a new game mode called Infernal Run, new SnapMap modules, and more. The update is hefty at 11.9 Gb so be prepared for that.

The other big news is that Denuvo protection has apparently now been removed from the game. With the game having been out for some time, perhaps Bethesda thought that it was no longer needed to protect the initial sales. There’s also another theory that the DOOM Denuvo was cracked so there was no point in carrying on with it. Still, good news for gamers who hate Denuvo.

DOOM‘s final DLC called Bloodfall will also arrive on December 15.

Here are the patch notes, which incidentally don’t mention anything about Denuvo removal.
