Looks Like DOOM 64 Is Getting a Native PS5 Port | Push Square
Released in 1997, DOOM 64 was developed and published by Midway Games and was considered the pinnacle of the series at the time, despite being a spin-off. Decades later, it was ported to PS4 in 2020 by Nightdive Studios and included as a pre-order bonus for DOOM Eternal. According to an updated ESRB listing, it now looks like it's coming natively to PS5.
The listing, spotted by GameRant, suggests that a reveal may be imminent. Submitting a title to the ESRB is one of the final tasks necessary to ship a game, and developers need to ensure that the associated label on the box is as accurate as possible. We can't imagine what major improvements it would feature, as the PS4 version, running on PS5, is already capable of a locked 60fps at 2160p; we suppose we shall just have to wait and see.

Unfortunately for me, most of these revised optimized boomer shooters don't hold up. Power Slave, and maybe DOOM 93 have been alright. But eh. I wish they were all in VR, for Quest 3 or PSVR2.
Doom 1 + 2 were rereleased by Nightdive w modding tools, etc. Maybe they are rereleasing Doom 64 with modding tools. Sounds good to me. I wonder if Unseen Evil had something to do with this, if anything I'm
