Players who recently purchased the Revelations expansion for DOOM: The Dark Ages may find themselves in an awkward position today. Just three weeks after the expansion's July 7 release, Bethesda has applied a 50% discount to the content as part of the PlayStation Store's ongoing summer sale.
Quick Facts
- Discounted Price: $9.99/£8.99 (50% off).
- Sale End Date: August 13, 2026.
- Core Game Reduction: The base game is also currently discounted by 67% ($23.09/£23.09).
- Premium Edition: The Premium Edition, which includes the Revelations expansion, digital art book, and a skin pack, is now priced at $32.99/£32.99.
Impact on Players
The sudden price drop is particularly notable for those who opted to buy the expansion at its full launch price in early July. For those who have yet to pick up the content, the current promotion on the Premium Edition offers the most value by bundling the base game, the Revelations DLC, and additional cosmetic items for a lower total cost than purchasing the items separately at their original retail prices.
Studio Context
The aggressive discounting follows recent industry reports regarding the status of id Software. While reports surfaced earlier this month regarding over 100 staff cuts at the studio as part of broader Xbox layoffs, leadership at the developer has publicly denied claims that the studio has been reduced to a “support” role. Despite these internal discussions, the price reduction for DOOM: The Dark Ages has led to speculation that the title may have underperformed against initial expectations.
