We can, of course, likely look forward to upcoming projects in the Bethesda catalogue that aren’t exclusive coming to the Xbox Game Pass when they launch, but there are still a few previous gems to explore. Even having put games like the Dishonored series and Fallout 76 in the catalogue already, the original (and arguably superior) Doom remake from 2016 is not currently in the Xbox Game Pass library, nor is Fallout 4. With Doom Eternal soon to be firmly in the Xbox Game Pass library in October, there are still plenty of other options to explore. Phil Spencer made it pretty clear in the acquisition announcement that Microsoft would be bringing Bethesda extensive catalogue of current and upcoming games into the Xbox Game Pass program, but this is definitely a strong opening volley. It’s also an impressive way for Microsoft to begin flaunting the fruits of its massive new acquisition of Bethesda and ZeniMax. With Doom Eternal having launched in March 2020, earlier this year, it’s arguably the most high-profile of games in Bethesda’s catalogue. Starting on October 1, 2020, players with access to Xbox Game Pass on PC or Xbox will be able to enjoy the new addition of id Software rampaging hit, Doom Eternal. Microsoft made the massive announcement via the Xbox Game Pass Twitter on September 24, 2020.

Beginning in October, players will be able to play id Software’s Doom Eternal on Xbox Game Pass, the first of the new additions from Microsoft’s latest acquisition. There was little doubt that the moment Microsoft and Xbox brought ZeniMax, Bethesda, and all studios under the publishing giant into its collective, we’d be seeing Microsoft take advantage of its new riches.
