Bethesda Has Announced That They Will Fix The DOOM and DOOM II Glitch On Xbox Live Arcade

DOOM and DOOM II suddenly disappeared from Xbox Live Arcade, although this was not intentional and Bethesda has announced that they are currently working to fix this glitch.

Earlier in the day Bethesda announced, during their presentation at the QuakeCon even, that the original DOOM, DOOM II, and DOOM 3 were all being released today for the PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, iOS, and Android devices — which came as a pleasant surprise for fans of the demon-slaying series.

It wasn't all good news, however — or at least for some players — as Xbox Live Arcade users suddenly realized that the Xbox 360 versions of DOOM and DOOM II, available via the XBLA backwards compatibility feature, had been delisted.

This turned out to be even more problematic, as XBLA users who had already purchased any of those two games noticed that there was no way for them to re-download these titles; with the only choice being to purchase the recently announced versions.

Bethesda, however, was quick to announce that this is a glitch and that both DOOM and DOOM II were not supposed to be delisted come the re-release of the games for all of the other platforms — revealing that they are currently working to fix this annoying issue.

IGN reached out to Bethesda, and this is the statement the developer released:

"Players who own and previously installed the Xbox 360 XBLA backward-compatible version of the games on Xbox One will still find those games in their Game Library and will be able to reinstall that version of the game. There was an error with this functionality today, but we expect it to be remedied very quickly."



Play the games that started it all: DOOM, DOOM II, and DOOM 3 are available now on Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and PS4! DOOM and DOOM II are also now available on iOS and Android!

DOOMDOOM II, and DOOM 3 are available for the PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, iOS, and Android today.
