DOOM: The Dark Ages Sets Record for Most Players in Series History

Developers from id Software and publisher Bethesda announced the unprecedented success of the shooter launch. In just a few days after the release on May 15, the number of players who tried the new part of the cult shooter reached 3 million people. This figure is seven times higher than the audience attraction rate of the previous part of the franchise – DOOM Eternal.

The official Bethesda account on the social network X expressed gratitude to the community for the record numbers. At the same time, the exact data on the number of copies sold remains unknown, since the game immediately became available in the Xbox Game Pass subscription, which could significantly affect the monetization model of the project.

DOOM: The Dark Ages received unanimous positive reviews from both game critics and ordinary players, confirming the reputation of the series as a benchmark for the genre. Such an impressive start allows the developers to count on the long-term success of the project and strengthens the position of the franchise in the modern gaming landscape.
