According to Bethesda's plan, those who pre-ordered DOOM: The Dark Ages were supposed to get access to the game on the 13th of May, but for some unknown reason gamers can already dive into battles with Demons.

Here's What We Know

Many bloggers and streamers are already in full swing with DOOM: The Dark Ages and live streaming.

Apparently, the publisher or developer made a mistake and gave customers access to DOOM: The Dark Ages earlier than planned. Hardly anyone will be upset by this turn of events, because both streamers are happy and gamers can already evaluate the new shooter before buying it.

Broadcasts are available on YouTube and Twitch.

The full release of DOOM: The Dark Ages will take place on 15 May on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series, and will be available immediately on Game Pass.
