DOOM: The Dark Ages PC System Requirements

Bethesda has announced DOOM: The Dark Ages for release on May 15th 2025. Will your PC meet the shooter's system requirements? There's a little something special. Let's take a closer look at the official system requirements here

DOOM: The Dark Ages will also be a fast-paced action game typical of DOOM, where it is important to be in the "flow" when playing. This means killing as many enemies as possible in a bloodlust without jerky graphics interfering with the smooth scrolling. High FPS values, i.e. at least 60 FPS, are likely to be important to most PC gamers.

DOOM: The Dark Ages is therefore not exactly frugal from the outset. Developer ID Software specifies 16 GB of RAM as the minimum, but at least 8 GB of VRAM on the graphics card is enough. However, you should not ignore an additional note: The Dark Ages requires an NVME SSD as a data carrier. It is therefore better not to install the game on an outdated SSD or even on an ancient hard disc with mechanical components. This SSD should have a size of at least 512 GB - because with 256 GB SSDs it could be difficult to unpack the large amounts of data during installation.

Before you dive into the game, please remember to install the latest drivers for your graphics card for the release. AMD / Nvidia.
