A YouTube channel released a video on July 10, 2026, claiming to run DOOM on the platform. The video allows free camera movement using WASD on PC, but shooting and movement are automated, creating a rail shooter experience. Enemies appear and fall automatically, and the atmosphere of the original game is recreated. The project is a technical curiosity rather than a full port.
A YouTube channel called Atlas Arcade released a video on July 10, 2026, that claims to run DOOM on YouTube. The video allows PC viewers to change the viewpoint with WASD keys, but movement and shooting are automatic. Enemy bullets do not hit the player, and enemies fall when the player fires. The result is a rail shooter that captures the look and feel of DOOM without offering full control. The Cacodemon and Cyberdemon appear, though the latter is not in the first stage. The project is a technical demonstration of what can be done within YouTube's video framework.
