It appears that sales for Doom: The Dark Ages aren't particularly good in the wake of its release last week.
With Bethesda touting over 3,000,000 players, analysts are reporting that over 2,000,000 of that number are playing off Game Pass.
The remaining number of players are largely split between PlayStation and PC, meaning neither piece of hardware has sold a significant number of full-priced copies.

When 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Doom: The Dark Ages launched last week across 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Xbox Series X|S, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:PlayStation 5 and PC, one thing that became immediately clear was the low number of concurrents on Steam.

Meanwhile, , estimating that 500,000 copies have been pushed on PlayStation. That's a bit betꦐter than the estimate of 200K copies, though a little weak overall.
