Doom 3 was originally released as a PowerPC title in 2005, and was then ported as a Universal Binary. The game was released on the Mac App Store but then taken down as it was a 32-bit application and would no longer be supported on macOS 10.15 or later.[1]

Doom 3 is currently only playable on macOS using the dhewm3 source port.
