Id Software and Bethesda Softworks' 'Doom' prequel is packed with aura and hype moments that'll make you go 'hell yeah' from start to finish.

Doom: The Dark Ages has enjoyed the biggest launch in id Software history, hitting three million players seven times faster than Doom Eternal.

The Dark Ages is a big release for Game Pass, and though Microsoft would love to sell copies to players the old-fashioned way, the company is also keen to grow Game Pass memberships. This is part of why we’re hearing more and more about player numbers, and not necessarily raw sales.
