A post on X from Bethesda offers a thank you to the over three million players who've gone to Hell in DOOM: The Dark Ages, the latest installment in id Software's classic first-person shooter series (thanks Frans). It says the game hit this milestone seven times faster than DOOM Eternal, though it fails to mention that last week's launch of DOOM: The Dark Ages included Game Pass, while DOOM Eternal did not come to the subscription streaming until several months after its release. But counting Game Pass, word is this is the biggest launch in id Software history:
Thank you for making DOOM: The Dark Ages the biggest launch in id's history - 7x faster to 3 million players than DOOM Eternal.
