According to Steamspy’s data, DOOM has sold more than two million copies on the PC. DOOM was released in May 2016 and it took Bethesda over one year – and a number of special deals/discounts – to hit that 2 million goal. Moreover, and contrary to other publishers, Bethesda completely removed Denuvo once DOOM was cracked.
DOOM is the ninth most successful Steam game for Bethesda, falling behind the original Dishonored, Fallout 3/4/New Vegas and Skyrim. DOOM was able to beat the latest Wolfenstein game, id Software’s previous title, RAGE, as well as Dishonored 2.
We got in touch with Bethesda and id Software who have not commented yet on these figures.
John is the founder and Editor in Chief at DSOGaming. He is a PC gaming fan and highly supports the modding and indie communities. Before creating DSOGaming, John worked on numerous gaming websites. While he is a die-hard PC gamer, his gaming roots can be found on consoles. John loved – and still does – the 16-bit consoles, and considers SNES to be one of the best consoles. Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2. John has also written a higher degree thesis on the “The Evolution of PC graphics cards.”
