Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 may be selling faster than all parts of Doom and Quake
Former id Software executive and current creative director at Saber Interactive, Tim Willits, stated that the launch of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 was the best in his career. Todd Hollenshead, who previously served as president of id Software, shares this sentiment.

According to Willits, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 outpaced all the games they worked on in sales speed, including "all parts of Doom, Quake, Wolfenstein, and RAGE."
It’s worth noting that Hollenshead left id Software in 2013, and Willits departed in 2019. After the latter's departure, the studio released Doom Eternal (in 2020). Whether the developers considered the metrics of this project remains uncertain.
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 was released on September 9 for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series. The day after its release, the game's audience exceeded 2 million people.
