These days Bethesda is happy about the successful start of 'DOOM: Eternal', which not only surpassed the offshoot from 2016, but is more successful than any other game in the series.
The publisher can report that DOOM Eternal doubled its sales in the starting week compared to DOOM (2016) and thus broke the sales records of the brand on the starting weekend. On Steam, DOOM Eternal was the best-selling title of the week, and over 100,000 players played the game on the platform at the same time.
The successful start of DOOM Eternal also reflects the praise of critics worldwide. DOOM Eternal has a Metacritic rating of 90, 89 and 87 for PC, Xbox and PS4 respectively, while on OpenCritic 96% of critics recommend the game, including many who see the title as a game-of-the-year candidate and praise him for one of the best campaigns in the first person shooter genre.
"We would like to thank all of our fans for their great support," said Ron Seger, Bethesda Softworks Senior Vice President of Global Sales. "Even though thousands of retailers are currently closing their shops, we are glad that so many fans can still have fun with DOOM Eternal."
