Update 6.66 Rev 2 is the latest update for DOOM Eternal, including new accessibility features, QOL improvements and bug fixes


We're excited to add new accessibility features to DOOM Eternal so that the gameplay experience can be enjoyed by even more players:

Accessibility Settings Notification Pop-Up Menu

Text-to-Speech (Chat)

• There are multiple speech profiles to choose from. You can cycle through the speech profile selections to audition them before selecting one
  
• The outgoing text message will appear yellow in the chat window when it has been converted to speech

Outgoing Text to Speech

Chat Translation
When enabled, incoming text chat messages are translated into the same language the receiving player’s system is set to. This functionality applies to standard and Speech-to-Text incoming text chat messages

Contrast Filter
This option reduces the speed at which screen brightness can change within the game. It can be fine-tuned with the following sliders when enabled:

• Per-pixel Brightness Velocity: Limits how rapidly the brightness of each pixel can change, such as during explosions or intense combat sequences
  
• Fullscreen Brightness Velocity: Limits how quickly the average brightness can change for the whole screen when it changes rapidly
