One of the biggest new games on the horizon is id Software's DOOM: The Dark Ages, a prequel to DOOM Eternal (check out our hands-on with the game here) that will once again deliver intense action with cutting-edge visuals. This is id's first game that will require a ray-tracing capable GPU on PC because it uses the technology for both gameplay (enhanced hit and material detection) and Path Tracing or Full Ray Tracing.
It launches on May 15 and is coming to NVIDIA's GeForce NOW cloud gaming platform. Subscribers can play the game on a cloud-based RTX rig via Steam, Battle.net, Xbox, or PC Game Pass. With GeForce NOW offering up to GeForce RTX 4080 levels of performance, gamers will be able to play on a wide range of devices with ray-tracing, DLSS 4's enhanced Super Resolution and Ray Reconstruction technologies, Reflex, Frame Generation, and even G-Sync.
