There's a chance that the newly-released DOOM Eternal could be coming to Xbox Game Pass at some point in the near future. A user over on the Xbox One Reddit page posted a snapshot of the Microsoft Store showing an Xbox Game Pass symbol next to the critically-acclaimed title.
We're not sure where this user is from, so this might be a regional thing. We've tested it for ourselves this morning, and there's no indication of DOOM Eternal coming to Xbox Game Pass as far as we can see.
It's probably best not to get your hopes up on this either way. An Xbox fan in the comments suggested the same thing happened for Control in the past, which ultimately was never added to the service. Most likely, this is just a glitch or a mistake on the Microsoft Store, but you never know, eh?
Would you like to see DOOM Eternal on Xbox Game Pass? Let us know in the comments.

I really don't think this is happening. But maybe I'm wrong?
It does seem odd for a new game (not owned by MS) to hit Game Pass so soon. I'd like to be wrong as it looks a great shoot 'em up.
It’ll happen eventually. Almost all of Bethesda’s games seem to come to Game Pass eventually. I know Bethesda gets a ton of hate, but I am a HUGE fan of a lot of their franchises, so I am always playing their games on there.
Fallout 4, the Wolfenstein games, Doom 2016, Rage 1 and 2, Prey, Dishonored, etc. have all been on Game Pass at one time or another. I would assume Doom Eternal will do the same eventually.
Bethesda usually waits awhile after release though & lets the game sell first, then try start popping up on there.
@KelticDevil I agree, I liked Wolfenstein, Doom and Dishonoured.Fallout 3 was great, but 4 was not my thing. Cant comment on the others as I've not played.
Doom is one of the third-party games that have been on Game Pass for a long while now so Doom Eternal will join Game Pass after sales decline.
It will in time, not yet though as it's only been out a couple of weeks, I give it at least six month's...
The only Bethesda series that hasn’t been on there is Elder Scrolls, I believe. And maybe Evil Within? I can’t remember if that made it on there.
Bethesda & Microsoft seem to have a great relationship, which is 👍🏻. Xbox seems to always have the marketing rights to all of their games & have even done some bundles with them.
And Bethesda hated the notorious Sony Cell Processor from the PS3, so this started on the 360. Fallout 3 & Skyrim were awful on the PS3.
