Doom: The Dark Ages proves what we all knew: Day-one Game Pass cannibalizes sales
Despite many having great things to say about Doom: The Dark Ages, it seems that Xbox Game Pass may have hurt its sales upon release.
Whenever a new Doom game is released, there's going to be a lot of people who show up to play it. The latest entry in the series from Bethesda, Doom: The Dark Ages, garnered a positive reception from many who were eagerly awaiting its release. But not everybody showed up to a retail store or hopped onto the Xbox Live marketplace to grab their copy of the game. With the latest Doom game being available on Day 1 through Xbox game Pass, tons of people downloaded it as soon as the game went live for everyone. Unfortunately, this may have had some unintended consequences on the release of Doom: The Dark Ages that many have been saying about the subscription service for some time.
