Doom: The Dark Ages Global Release Times Confirmed
Bethesda confirms Doom: The Dark Ages global release times. Here's when you'll be able to play in your time zone.
Bethesda has confirmed the global release times for Doom: The Dark Ages.
Doom: The Dark Ages is coming to PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X and S, and there's no differentiation between PC and console launch times. Access, however, will depend upon whether or not you've purchased the Premium Edition as that unlocks later today, May 12, a full 48 hours ahead of the official street date.
Though not confirmed by Bethesda, some players who received their copy of Doom: The Dark Ages early report that even physical PS5 discs require players to download the full game before they can play.
We had a great time with id Software's shooter, writing in IGN's Doom: The Dark Ages review: "Doom: The Dark Ages may strip away the mobility focus of Doom Eternal, but replaces it with a very weighty and powerful style of play that is different from anything the series has done before, and still immensely satisfying in its own way."
