Entire Doom series is up to 90% off on Steam but you’ve got to be quick

The 2016 game is less than £2 (Bethesda) PC players who’ve yet to play Doom can rectify that with Steam’s very generous discounts, with a couple of the games now cheaper than a cup of coffee. The running joke with Doom is that the original 1993 game is playable on almost anything you can think of. Not just video game consoles but also calculators, pregnancy tests, lawnmowers, the Nintendo Alarmo, and much more. This also means that you really have no excuse not to play it and that’s especially apparent when it and most of its sequels are currently very cheap to buy. At the time of writing, Steam is running a generous discount on every Doom game available on the platform, with some of them going for less than £2, but only until later this evening. Gere’s what’s available and how much they’re going for: Doom & Doom 2 – £3.19 Doom 64 – £1.59 Doom 3 – £3.19 Doom (2016) – £1.59 Doom Eternal Deluxe Edition – £14.49 Doom: The Dark Ages – £23.09 Expert, exclusive gaming analysis Sign up to the GameCentral newsletter for a unique take on the week in gaming, alongside the latest reviews and more.

The discounts for the 2016 Doom game and its sequel, Doom Eternal, are especially enticing as the former is 90% off, while the latter is 75% off and normally costs £57.99. Doom: The Dark Ages only came out last year, so it’s obviously not going to be as cheap, but at 67% off, it’s certainly more appealing than its usual price tag of £69.99. The Doom Anthology bundle is also included in this sale at a 75% discount, with it currently priced at £21.64 instead of £84.96. This includes every aforementioned Doom game, with the exception of Doom: The Dark Ages. Still, buying the bundle and that game separately comes to £44.73, meaning you’re getting seven games for less than a single brand-new one. There is also a discount on a bundle that includes the 2016 Doom game and Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus, which is appropriate if you’re familiar with both series’ history. Wolfenstein 2 on its own isn’t discounted, though, so the bundle is only down by 35% from £36.47 to £23.66. We did check to see if such discounts are also available on other platforms, but they’re exclusive to Steam and set to expire later today, at 6pm BST. The Doom series will likely see a new game in the future, considering it’s a key IP for both Bethesda and Microsoft. It’s not known, though, if developer id Software’s next game is another sequel or something completely different. There have been rumblings of the studio’s Quake series making a comeback, but that’s speculated to be in the works at MachineGames, the developer behind the modern Wolfenstein games.
