Hell just got a whole lot cheaper. Bethesda Softworks has slashed Doom 2016 down to a jaw dropping $2 on Steam to mark the shooter’s 10th anniversary, a brutal 90 percent cut from its normal price. The flash sale rips through the entire Doom catalog and ends on May 15, giving fans only hours left to load up before the demons go back to full price.

Doom 2016 Hits Its Lowest Price Ever on Steam

The announcement landed on May 13, exactly one decade after the reboot first stormed PCs and consoles. At $2, this is the cheapest Doom 2016 has ever been sold on Steam.

Price trackers confirm the milestone. According to GG.deals, the current $1.99 listing is officially the lowest historical price for the game, a full 90 percent off its $19.99 sticker. That makes it a no brainer pickup for anyone who skipped it the first time around.

The deal is part of a wider franchise sale that covers every mainline Doom title in the Steam store. Bethesda is using the anniversary moment to push the legacy of the series and bring new players into the fold before Doom: The Dark Ages continues its post launch run.

Full Doom Series Sale Prices Until May 15

Here is the complete breakdown of what is on offer right now on Steam:

The 2016 reboot is the headliner, but the Dark Ages discount is the real surprise. The newest entry in the series usually never drops below full price this early, making the 67 percent cut a strong pull for late adopters.

UK and EU players are not left out. PC Gamer reports the price sits at £1.59 and €2 in those regions, holding the same 90 percent reduction across territories.

Why Doom 2016 Still Hits Hard a Decade Later

Released on May 13, 2016, the reboot was a gamble that paid off in a huge way. It launched with an 85 Metacritic score and a Top Critic Average of 86 on OpenCritic, with 92 percent of critics recommending it.

The game stripped away the cover shooter trends of the era and went all in on speed, aggression and brutal close range kills. Glory Kills, the chainsaw, and Mick Gordon’s pounding metal soundtrack rewrote the rules of modern first person shooters.

“Nobody makes games like the original Doom anymore, but after Doom 2016 it’s hard to remember why.”

That line from PC Gamer’s original review still rings true ten years on. The id Tech 6 engine continues to run buttery smooth on modern hardware, and the push forward combat loop, which feeds you health and ammo for staying aggressive, has aged better than almost any shooter of its generation.

The numbers back it up. Steam community data shows Doom 2016 sits on more than 216,000 user reviews, with the franchise as a whole holding 92 percent positive ratings across nearly 380,000 reviews.

How the Series Stacks Up in 2026

The Doom universe has only grown stronger since the reboot dropped. Doom Eternal cranked the speed and platforming even higher in 2020, and the prequel Doom: The Dark Ages arrived in 2025 to strong reviews.

• Doom Eternal: 91 percent positive on Steam from more than 119,000 reviews
• Doom: The Dark Ages: 85 percent positive on Steam from over 16,800 reviews
• Doom 2016: Metacritic score of 85, with an 8.5 user score

The Dark Ages takes the Slayer back to a medieval war against Hell, swapping double jumps for a Shield Saw and grounded melee combat. It is a tonal shift, but reviews from IGN, Impulse Gamer and GamingBolt have praised it as a serious entry in the franchise.

For new players, the math is simple. Two dollars buys you the entry point. Ten dollars adds Eternal. For under $40 total, you can own the entire modern Slayer trilogy plus the classic titles that started everything.

What Buyers Should Know Before the Clock Runs Out

The sale wraps up on May 15, which leaves a short window to act. Players should keep a few things in mind before checking out.

The Doom 2016 Steam package now includes all three premium DLC packs, Unto the Evil, Hell Followed and Bloodfall, alongside Arcade Mode, Photo Mode and the long running Update 6.66 multiplayer overhaul. There are no hidden extras to buy on top of the $2 price.

The game is also Steam Deck Verified, so handheld players can take the Slayer on the go without setup headaches. It supports ten languages with full subtitle and interface options.

One last tip. Stacking a discounted Steam gift card on top of the sale can shave a few more cents off the total, with some resellers listing cards up to 4 percent below face value.

Ten years after a single Marine smashed a monitor and started swinging, Doom 2016 has earned its place as one of the most important shooters of the modern era. At two dollars, it is less than the cost of a coffee, and yet it might just be the most fun any new player has in front of a screen this week. The clock is ticking, and Hell does not wait.
