A brave software engineer asked that famous question: Will it run DOOM? For ChatGPT , the answer to this question is now yes. You can play the classic shooter directly in the chat window.

For over thirty years, DOOM has been a litmus test for a new generation of innovators. From gut bacteria to human brain cells grown on microchips, the first real test of a new invention has always been whether it can run id Software 's classic FPS.

Naturally, how artificial intelligence would join this conversation was also a matter of curiosity. Two years ago, thanks to a research team at Google , we saw an AI game engine generating DOOM in real-time. Now, we have moved to the next level.

The 1993 classic shooter is now fully playable directly inside AI chatbots. All you have to do is enter the right commands; thus, you can unleash hell without ever leaving the chat.

Software Engineer Makes DOOM Playable in AI Bots

According to Engadget's report, software engineer Chris Nager made all this possible. Instead of running a simple command that redirects you to a third-party site or service, he found a way to run the game directly in the chat window.

This system can run on LLM (Large Language Model) clients like ChatGPT and Claude and, when implemented correctly, can be activated by writing just a single command: “Play DOOM.”

Within seconds, DOOM appears in the chat window and greets you with a message stating it's ready to play without you needing to install anything or go anywhere else on the internet.

Nager said in his blog post detailing the creation process, 'It's always fun to see DOOM ported to new surfaces,' 'This project is a testament that ChatGPT and Claude can run DOOM.'

Furthermore, this function even partially works when chatting with LLMs in mobile apps. So if you want to play a quick game of DOOM while out and about, you now have a new option.
