Delisting
DOOM 3 was delisted from Steam on August 10, 2022 as part of a “consolidation” effort by Bethesda, who wrote in a Steam blog post:
Spanning across multiple decades, id Software’s library of work is as vast as it is full of amazing games.
However, this means a number of the id’s offerings have been released or reiterated in ways that can make our digital storefronts a touch…confusing. Rather than write out the differences between Final DOOM, Ultimate DOOM and just DOOM, we’re consolidating our Steam library of titles! For those id Software experts that do know all the variations of our games released on Steam, bear with us as we simplify how our games appear so that newcomers have an easier time.
Starting August 10, we will begin rolling out changes to our Steam Store listings for select id Software games. In short, we are consolidating each game under one major title and/or changing the title for a simpler shopping experience.
Doom 3 was consolidated as:
DOOM 3
DOOM 3 will be merged into a package containing the original DOOM 3 plus the Resurrection of Evil expansion and DOOM 3: BFG Edition. The package allows each version to be installed separately as follows:
- DOOM 3
- DOOM 3: Resurrection of Evil (Requires DOOM 3 to be installed)
- DOOM 3: BFG Edition
NOTE: Players that already own DOOM 3 or DOOM 3: BFG Edition on Steam will be upgraded to the DOOM 3 consolidated package with all three releases for free!
Confusingly, the Steam entry for DOOM 3: BFG Edition was renamed “DOOM 3″ as part of this consolidation while the DOOM 3 Steam entry was retired. The game remains available on Steam in that DOOM 3 package plus on other platforms and, of course, on physical media from its original release in 2004.
About the Game
DOOM 3 was originally distributed by Activision and developed id Software in 2004. The game is set on Mars in 2145, where an Union Aerospace Corporation scientific research facility opens a gateway to Hell, resulting in a catastrophic invasion of demons. The player controls a space marine in first-person, who fights through the base to stop the demons attacking Mars and reaching Earth.
Versions were originally released on PC then Linux, Mac OS X, and Xbox into 2005.
