Bethesda has today announced that it will be bringing DOOM Eternal and The Elder Scrolls Online to PlayStation 5 with native versions for both, and those who already own the games on PlayStation 4 will receive a free upgrade. The publisher hasn't stated when these enhanced ports will launch, but it does plan on sharing more news in the coming weeks, including what sort of upgrades we can expect.
It then went on to promise that should any more of its games receive a next-gen boost, those will also be free of charge to owners of the PS4 versions. So, Fallout 4 on PS5 anyone? Or how about The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - Special Edition? To be fair, we probably wouldn't say no. id Software hasn't shipped any of the DLC planned for DOOM Eternal just yet while The Elder Scrolls Online continues to be supported with major expansions. Therefore, it makes sense to carry these two titles into the next generation.
Are you looking forward to playing the two games on Sony's next machine? For more information on all free confirmed PS4 to PS5 upgrades, head on through the link and share your thoughts in the comments below.

Fallout 76 will surely follow?
@get2sammyb Might actually run at more than 15fps on PS5.
Why upgrade Skyrim for free when they can sell it to us again 🤷♂️
They're not upgrading Skyrim on purpose and you know damn well why.
I gave up on ES Online pretty quickly due to the enormous amount of space that it takes on the PS4, given that updates require 100 gigs before they'll load. Hopefully, that will be less of an issue on the PS5.
Been waiting on news on ESO. Glad its a free update
If the elder scrolls has all the dlc attached I might bite
Doom Eternal is on sale at the moment on PSN, maybe should pick it up now to make sure I get cheapo PS5 version, as surely the price will remain high as that release approaches...
4K 120fps for Doom? I know on PC those games run at crazy framerates with Vulkan, especially with AMD CPUs.
As a player who’s played ESO almost exclusively for the last 2 years I’m very excited to hear this news!!! Can’t wait to see Tamriel with better load times!
Skyrim 60 fps and RT patch?
Damn it! I buy most of my games digitally now, but I own both of these on disc!
@Orpheus79V Yeah DOOM on Vulkan is a beauty to behold. Especially on the current NVIDIA and AMD GPUs, you can set all the possible graphical settings to Ultra and still get like well over 120 frames
@wiiware I'd most like to see the modding restrictions on PS to be loosened but that's not something I expect to happen, 60fps and RT would be nice though.
Nice! I want both of them on my new ps5
@Orpheus79V I don't expect mod but I hope bethesda didn't sells the game again with ps5 remaster.
Doom 2016 > Doom eternal
Free Skyrim?? What witchcraft is this?
