Doom: The Dark Ages is the latest installment in the long-standing series of iconic first-person shooters.

A prequel to the 2016 Doom and Doom Eternal, it’s going to depict the origins and early stages of the Doom Slayer’s crusade against Hell and its pawns. Is it going to be available via Game Pass, though? Let’s check.

And yes, Doom: The Dark Ages will be available through the Game Pass subscription. Better yet, it will be available from the very day one, May 15, 2025.

You can also pre-load the game as well, so that you can dive into the action much faster. Just find the game in the Game Pass catalog and begin installing. Naturally, you’ll be able to play it on May 15, 2025 once the game unlocks, though the premium and collector’s editions of the games offer early access of two days before the release.
