Microsoft CEO Boasts Records for Monthly Active Users and Game Pass

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and CFO Amy Hood had records to boast for the gaming business and Game Pass.

[Obscure_Observer]

YES!!!

"We set new records for monthly active users in the quarter as more players than ever play our games across devices and on the Xbox platform. Game Pass also set a new Q1 record for total revenue and average revenue per subscriber and as we look ahead, our IP across our Studios has never been stronger.”"

Gamepass is the GOAT!!!

“Last week’s launch of Black Ops 6 was the biggest Call of Duty release ever setting a record for day one players as well as Game Pass subscriber adds on launch day, and unit sales on PlayStation and Steam were also up over 60% year-over-year."

Gamepass didn´t stop COD from continue to be a sales juggernaut across all platforms worldwide!

I can see even more new games coming day on Gamepass as it continues to grow seeing a huge influx of new subscribers, paying for Ultimate to get access to day one games.

Let´s Go!!!

The only thing CoD did outside of the norm is prop up gamepass. It can't do that forever, though.

Fairly positive it breaking records outside of Game Pass is pretty significant too.

Same exaggerated talk every year

[UltimateOwnage]

*yawn* same story from MS and their ring kissing fan club every year, same stagnation being masked by price hikes to increase reported revenue and all at the expense of their console sales and dwindling presence in stores. More proof they only care about becoming a boring monthly service and giving up on driving technology in the gaming space forward. Thats a loss of all of us as gamers. I hope that cheap sub was worth giving up what made XBOX great in the beginning.

"as more players than ever play our games across devices and on the Xbox platform."

To be honest, fair & humble: this wasn't really hard to achieve in the first place though. If you care for context.

But good for them.

Xbots don't care about context. A win is a win no matter how slimy

Boom for GP is always good. Hopefully Stalker 2 and Indy continue the momentum this holiday and continue it next year with Doom, Avowed and Fable.

'Game Pass also set a new Q1 record for total revenue and average revenue per subscriber'

That literally just means 'we put subscription prices up'

They need to be growing the base, as you can only milk the current base so much.
