The post continues: "In what we call "one hell of an update", the software update will be released for download via the Husqvarna Automower® Connect App. The decision to release the game to product owners follows the amazing response DOOM x Husqvarna robotic lawnmowers had at the gaming event DreamHack Winter 2023".

DOOM has been running on a few strange things over the years; most recently, the game was 'running' on human E. coli gut bacteria, it's been run on a fridge, pregnancy tests, and more.
