Summary

  • Xbox Game Pass Ultimate offers day one releases like Doom: The Dark Ages.
  • Doom: The Dark Ages releases May 15.

Mark your calendars, especially May 15, as that’s when “Doom: The Dark Ages” will be available on Xbox Game Pass as a launch day title. One of the key factors behind Microsoft’s acquisition of “Doom” publisher ZeniMax Media was to enhance the collection of games planned for Xbox Game Pass.

Xbox Game Pass boasts an extensive collection of video games, yet it’s the access to day-one releases that truly sets it apart. However, a shift in the tiers of Xbox Game Pass means that those on the basic plan no longer receive day-one games. On the other hand, individuals subscribed to the Ultimate tier and PC Game Pass continue to enjoy these benefits. Excitingly, there are several highly anticipated day-one releases scheduled for Xbox Game Pass in 2025, with one of them already revealing its launch date.

According to the recent Xbox Developer Direct, the rumored release date for “Doom: The Dark Ages” has been verified as May 15. As per the leaked information, this game will debut on Xbox Game Pass on the same day. Interestingly, even though “Doom: The Dark Ages” is an Xbox-owned title, it’s also set to launch on PlayStation 5, but players on that platform will need to pay full price. On the other hand, Xbox gamers can just subscribe to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate to enjoy day one access to “Doom: The Dark Ages” on their platform.
