A new software update for Husqvarna’s robotic line of lawnmowers will soon give you the opportunity to play DOOM on a lawnmower if you’ve ever wanted to.

Owners of the Automower NERA series can now sign up for the new update, which will be released in April, just in time to begin mowing the lawn, according to the lawnmower manufacturer’s announcement last week.

From April this year, the legendary 1993 video game DOOM® will be accessible on Husqvarna Automower ® NERA robotic lawnmower models, according to a news release on the company’s website.

The software update will be made available for download via the Husqvarna Automower ® Connect App in “what we call” “one hell of an update.”

It has become a tradition for hackers and tech enthusiasts to play the game on the most unlikely devices since the enormously popular first-person shooter DOOM was first released in 1993.

These items include a&nbsp, digital pregnancy test, a printer, and Texas Instruments calculators. &nbsp,

The new Automower NERA software update will be available on your lawnmower on April 9, 2024, via the Automower Connect App.

Owners will then be able to control the marine using the device’s control knob while the lawnmower’s onboard display and controls the game.

Unfortunately, DOOM is only available in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Malta, Switzerland, Australia, New Zealand, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Greece, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Montenegro, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Turkey, Moldova, Republic of Serbia, Germany, Austria, Slovenia, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, and Ireland.

Let’s be honest, playing the game on these devices may be enjoyable for a short while, but it wo n’t be as enjoyable as playing it on your console or computer.

The full version of DOOM can be obtained from Steam or on a console, where playing will be much more enjoyable.
