The Dark Ages is developed by Bethesda's id Software and is the third game in the newest series that began with 2016's Doom and continued with 2020's Doom Eternal. Although the series is now owned by Microsoft, the company is releasing The Dark Ages on PS5 as part of its new multiplatform release strategy.

Xbox Game Pass is getting a little bigger in May as it delivers day one releases and a few titles taking a step down to the Standard tier of the service.
