MS: "90 million active Xbox Live Users (up from 64 last quarter); more than 10 million GamePass subs"
- Thread starter MauroNL
- Start date
An increase of 26,000,000 more XBL users since last quarter? From 64M last quarter to 90M. That is absurd!!
Great for MS. Phil continues to be an incredible captain for that ship. XGP growing incredibly well and I expect to see that continue into next gen. Hopefully they can keep the $/m of XGP relatively low in the coming years to minimize the churn. Fantastic job by the Xteam.
More competition is going to make next gen amazing!

People would be better saving the concern trolling till next year when the hit 20m and really start buying up content. Just buy publishing rights to whatever looks good or popular or things that will fill a hole.
The way Phil managed to turn things round and build something that'll be the basis of the new gen from what he was given is nothing short of extraordinary. His idea of cross generational libraries, saves and DLCs following you everywhere you go, replayable on new machines or via streaming, on top of Gamepass means he'll go down as one of the greats. Guy is a visionary.
Now, bring in XSX, damn excited to see these new Studios showing us the goods.

yup. As soon as we went into lockdown our company rolled out Teams (despite us already using Skype for business) I know a lot of colleagues in different fields where their companies did similar. Was expecting to see that surge number. Really impressive
Why do this? You forgot about the sharing. Lucky if they are covering Phil's traveling expenses.
No matter how much you twist it that it's 99c paying subscribers 10 million is a huge deal for such young service. This is why active user base is sometimes more important than profit.
I expect many of the subscribers will keep subscriptions when 99c deals finish. Also if MS does better next gen and focus more than I think gamepass will become defacto subscription service like Netflix. Hopefully Sony WI have answer to it sooner than later. No psnow is not answer

Got to say I'm really impressed with how they've turned things around going into the next generation. Hope this level of success continues going forward. Tempted to go Xbox first next gen (I always go multiplat). Game Pass is just that good.
Yeah I think you're on to something there...
These sub and live numbers in comparison to the revenue increase seems a little lopsided, right?
It's something to behold isn't it? We almost have a full house here. Get your bingo cards ready!
anti dev - check
Numbers must be from deal- check
Expected more- check
Where's the "real numbers" - check
just a couple more and it's BINGO
If I had to guess, multiple accounts per console. There are two consoles in my house, and 7 accounts. That is a similar story for many of my friends as well.
But yeah, some could still be on 360 as well, seeing as how a lot of 360 games that are backwards compatible are still pretty active online (Call of Duty being the biggest I can think of)
PC Gamepass is beta and $5 a month. You kinda get what you paid for, tbh.
Yep. Bodes well for the final launch. Healthy pool to get all the feedback and info they need.
B-but the sustainability! The devaluing of games!

Seriously, as a player, I'm really happy to see game pass is doing so well. It means we will get more titles on it, it's just so exciting.

True. So it's more like 2 million subs with all the 7 console shares going on.
It's not sustainable for certain companies, EA, Sony and Nintendo for example, a service like this isn't sustainable for them. Particularly Sony and Nintendo since their games aren't Online focused games. Microsoft can override this model of economics because Xbox isn't a core business and their other businesses are strong enough to allow MS to enter aggressive growth mode for Xbox Game Pass.
9 out of 10 friends of mine are console sharing so this checks out
/s
So do the maths. 2 million and they all paid a dollar at some point in history to subscribe and that's all they pay cause it's a dollar forever and not for a very limited period, we can probably assume 500k a month at best.
A lot of these ideas also stem right from Satya Nadella who wants to bring down the borders while some competitors want to secure those walled gardens even more.

Lol, yes just like clockwork.
he was being sarcastic. Why would you Think a majority of users are on cheap $1 deals?
Yea I got $1 game pass for 3 years.(some Alienware month giveaway) Not sure where I fit into those statistics.
It may not be profiting yet, but 100+ million / month is nothing to scoff at. Especially when Xbox is at its lowest point.
It's literally his job lol. Some people cover specific industries or companies and few do it better if at all
I mean, my family is 7 accounts on one console (all being the primary system) and there probably a few million 360s out there. A few of my PS4 friends still keep their Gold on the 360 so they can play Black Ops 1 and 2 with our group and since the games are playable on Xbox One, regular multiplayer still has pretty healthy numbers (or at least, healthy enough where I have never struggled to find a game during reasonable hours)
I got 2 people to sign up today. Family members, they had never heard of it so they still need to work on the marketing.
I actually tried to talk them out of it because the deal on Xbox they were buying wasn't great and I thought they should wait. People are just so fecking bored though.

≈ 15 mln of Xbox Live MAU are accounts with zero gamerscore.
The most popular Xbox Live game is not a game, it's YouTube.
Top-10 most popular games includes titles like League of Legends and Microsoft Solitaire Collection.
I am not joking.
Not really.... They just reported flat numbers on revenue. These gamepass subs and user engagement numbers are not improving their bottom line.
The fact that anyone would continue to concern troll Xbox over stuff like this is hilarious. Xbox Game Pass is the best thing to happen for gamers this whole generation, and millions of us will be enjoying the full Xbox Series X launch lineup as part of this subscription instead of having to spend another $120 or $180 on games at launch. Amazing times to be an Xbox gamer!
