DOOM: The Dark Ages is set to launch on May 15, 2025, and it’s no doubt going to cause a lot of PC gamers to look for a GPU upgrade.
Just in time, NVIDIA has announced a new promotion. When you buy an eligible RTX 5000 GPU, pre-built gaming PC, or gaming laptop, you’ll get a free copy of DOOM: The Dark Ages Premium Edition.
Alongside a host of extra goodies — digital artbook and soundtrack, skin pack, and future DLC access — the Premium Edition grants early access to the game on May 13.
