Bethesda has officially confirmed that DOOM Eternal will not be able to play DOOM Eternal at 4K 60 FPS on Google's Stadia platform, despite prior promises to the contrary. When Stadia was revealed at GDC 2019, the slide below was shown, which promised that DOOM Eternal would run at "true 4K" at 60FPS on Google's Stadia hardware. Furthermore, the game would support HDR on compatible devices. Now, we know the truth. DOOM Eternal will run at 1800p, but be up-sampled to 4K. This makes the game a lot less graphically impressive than what was first promised, but it makes sense given the strength of Google's Stadia hardware. 

DOOM Eternal's promised resolution and framerate is yet another promise that Stadia hasn't been able to live up to. This makes the Stadia version of DOOM Eternal roughly equivalent to the game's Xbox One X version, despite Google's claims that Stadia is a stronger platform. At this time, it is unknown why this promise isn't being kept. Maybe Stadia isn't as powerful as expected, maybe Bethesda and id Software decided to push DOOM Eternal's graphics in another direction, or perhaps DOOM Eternal's Stadia version isn't as well optimised as other platforms. 

While 1800p is fairly close to 4K, it isn't the native presentation that was promised on Stadia. In time, Google will have the option to strengthen its Stadia platform with stronger PC hardware, but for now, Stadia is a disappointment. 
 
I have to agree that this is a big disappointment,

    4K 60 fps = play on your PC ... or have fast ISP service

    Stadia is still a thing? I thought it already died a horrible death. The reviews for it aren't very positive and you can't even take apart the Stadia controller without a Dremel.

    It could also be that Google thought Stadia would be more of a thing than it is and planned to invest more into the hardware. Honestly I haven't heard anyone talk about it since it launched so I can't see it having enough support for it to be something Google is going to pump money into. That said by the time we get Wifi 7 in about 2024 and then it rolling out over lets say two years in 2026 when the next generation consoles like the PS5 start to look outdated we could see this become a thing even if it's just built into the next next gen consoles from Microsoft and Sony.
