Recently, B.com officially announced that "Doom: Dark Age" was released for 5 days, with the number of players reaching 3 million, which is 7 times the speed of the previous work "Doom: Eternal", and has become the most successful first in id Software's history.

The biggest contribution to achieving 3 million players in 5 days is Game Pass.According to statistics from the analysis company Ampere Analysis, most of these 3 million players are Xbox players, and more than 2 million people play on Xbox.

Then only a small number of these Xbox players have purchased this game, and most of them are played through Game Pass on the Xbox console or PC.

Ampere Analysis also pointed out that there are only about 500,000 players in PS5.As for the PC platform, by their definition, the number of players on the PC is "a bit low".

Therefore, foreign media The Game Business pointed out that "Doom: Dark Age" has 3 million players in 5 days, which is definitely not disappointing, but it could have been a little more.

Original text of the foreign media The Game Business report:

Doom: Dark Ages players reach 3 million. Is this amazing?

B's "Doom: Dark Ages" was one of the most watched games at the Xbox show last year, and it was launched more than a year later.Five days after its release, Bethesda announced that the game's number of players exceeded 3 million, reaching that number "seven times faster than the previous work "Doom: Eternal".

"Dooms: Dark Age" joined Game Pass on the day of its debut, so from the perspective of the number of starters, it is inevitable that the number of players in "Dooms: Dark Age" will surpass the previous work.But is 3 million really awesome?

In comparison, just a few weeks ago, Bethesda launched the Elder Scrolls 4: Annihilation Remake, which attracted 4 million players in just four days.

In early December last year, Bethesda released "Raiders of the Lost Ark: Ancient Circle", and by the end of January it also reached 4 million players (although the game does not have a PS5 version during this period).

According to Ampere, Doom: Dark Ages only have about 500,000 players on PS5, while there are more than 2 million players on Xbox.It is certainly inappropriate to describe 3 million players as "disappointing", but I had expected it to be a little higher.

The data on the PlayStation and PC seems to be a bit low.The game masterpieces released during this period are crowded with them. Last month, B Club also launched "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and "The Elder Scrolls 4: Annihilation Remake" on PS5.An analyst told me that a lot of the key information about Doom was released through the Xbox channel (including last year's first trailer), which may have affected the exposure of users on other platforms.

Of course, the number of players does not reflect the whole thing.What is the average game duration for these players? How much is the paid version of the game sales? Does it attract new subscribers?
