Nielsen company SuperData has published its worldwide digital games market report for March 2020, revealing that DOOM Eternal sold three million digital copies throughout its launch month. In comparison, DOOM (2016) sold just 957k digital copies during its launch back in May 2016.
It's great news for the franchise, with SuperData crediting the boost in sales to strong reviews (we called it "one of the best first-person shooters ever made"), and the positive reception to the game's predecessor.
Elsewhere, the report noted that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare's monthly active user number reached an all-time high of 62.7 million following the launch of the free-to-play Call of Duty: Warzone, while spending on digital games also grew to an all-time high of $10 billion (!).

It doesn't surprise me considering covid and being the sequel to the critically acclaimed Doom 2016.
Great news for bethesda
No surprise considering people can't go to the shops and buy it. Digital sales everywhere are soaring
Got it physically on release day, really great game... Also the pre-order bonus of Doom 64 as a free download has been played nearly as much so really I consider it two great games in one!!
@BANJO I heard a lot of people enjoying Doom 64 more than Doom Eternal because of the first-person platforming sections (always hated that about Metroid Prime) and the frequent cutscenes but I have only played Doom 1993 and Doom 2016.
Happy to see you around here too because I like your comments on NL
@BlueOcean Hey, yes I see you on NL also alot, thanks - 😀. I have relatively recently picked up a One X near the end of the generation, along with Gamepass and many cheap games I'm trying to play a few of the titles I've missed out on from only really playing the Switch/3DS for the last 3 years....
I have a 360 so the backwards compatibility finally tempted me to get the One X....
Regarding Doom 64, it's as you said, it's simplicity and for me nostalgia which makes it such a good game. I originally played it near release on the N64 which makes it so great to play today over Eternal.... However, both are amazing games!!
@BANJO Sounds good.
Nice, I have yet to play either game but they look awesome.
