While Doom (2016) was added to Xbox Game Pass in 2018, it was removed from the subscription service earlier this year. Given that Microsoft acquired ZeniMax and Bethesda this week, perhaps the first id Software game will make its way back again, as Microsoft said that it is currently working on adding ZeniMax’s titles to Xbox Game Pass.

The Ancient Gods – Part One was fully revealed back in August at Bethesda’s QuakeCon at Home opening livestream. PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X versions of Doom Eternal are also in development. Players who have the current-generation version of the game will be eligible to receive the next-generation upgrade for free.
