"Doom: Dark Ages" ranked 9th in the overall revenue list.Newzoo said this is mainly due to “most of the revenue is related to the Xbox Game Pass subscription service.”More than 95% of the full version of the game's sales (referring to non-subscribe purchases) come from PlayStation and Steam platforms.
