January 2021 - 18 million
January 2022 - 25 million
So they jumped 7 million in 1 year and then in almost 2 years they've gotten 5 million...

Over 30 millions can for example be 30.1 but also 39.9 million if you want to play with numbers you don't have.

This is kinda strange for gamepass because they are giving it away for free everywhere, I see it in dominos bags, fries Pringles, drinks everywhere in food you get some months free
On Amazon when buying electronics and every windows laptop has 3 moths free trial, got mine recently.

The US video game subscription market is likely approaching a plateau in terms of player spending. This is according to new data from analytics firm Circana.

if you own a pc or xbox then you would be mad not to dip your toes into game pass, be it the odd month here or there or 12 months+ thats kinda the point of a subscription service.
mine runs out 10th october so i will add another year or two somehow or other at that point.

Yeah and it was in August too so before whatever amount was added in September.
Even if it’s exactly 30 that’s a 20% increase in 19 months.

Remember they've just converted Xbox live gold to Gamepass Core or whatever it's called. So I expect Average Revenue per person so decline this quarter.

PC guy here. I'm not interested, the games I want to play aren't on gamepass.

To be fair, it could also be 100m.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Probably gonna be over 50 with Core numbers added in post-September.

Dat Starfield bump! . . . that'll turn into a bruise.

Does this include the new Xbox Live members being "upgraded" to the new Gamepass level?
highly doubt it, core literally only just launched yesterday

Probably not, its in his listing until August.

Gotcha! So with Core launching now, Starfield out, and Forza 8 coming out next month........GamePass should end the year with 35 million plus in my opinion.

There are 25 millions gold subscribers so it can jump to 40 or more tbh
THE DUCK
voted poster of the decade by bots
Where's the post that was saying to me that it was clearly below 25 million now since they lost all the $1 subs? (I had said it was 30 mllion by now......)
30 million and still gaining. This is still a huge number, the amount of steady revenue from this can't be underestimated. Especaily since it seemed very much like the 25 million was the break even point.
Gudji's lame one month post doesn't take into account that most people won't cancel once they sub.

You can tell it’s steadily growing just by watching them adjust prices, tiers, and start to slowly remove ‘loopholes’.
My subscription ends by the end of this year and I’d like to do the 3-year thing again (which has been limited to a 2-year thing now from what I’ve heard).

30 million is a lot. Hope it continues to go from strength to strength.
I hope MS has an event soon and shows us what games we can expect for first half 2024. It seems quiet.

Having to use the windows store is reason enough.
Also not contributing to the netflixification of gaming is another.

growth is slowing. It'll hit a saturation point unless they can grow it with all the PC, Nvida, Samsung subs.
Kind f like Sony hit a brick wall at 45M sub plans for about 2-3 years straight. So to increase sub revenue, it's not coming from new sign ups. So they increased the price. The thinking is that's the easiest way to make money in any sub plan (NF and Disney too). Any loss of sub count gets countered with big gains in price from the remaining people.
And then as bonus, the thinking is give it a year or two and those people who left might rejoin anyway.

Wrestlers are much better actors than people treat them. Who can rant like that and none of the people are laughing their asses off? LOL.

"They" didn't say anything, this is taken from someones linkedin dated August.
Core launched yesterday.

Is that a lot?
I am looking at Apple Arcade's 100+ million subscribers and google plays (god knows how many) where they do almost nothing, and subscribers get almost nothing for.
I can't help but to think maybe MS is simply fighting the wrong war!

We don't know, because we don't have access to their financials. That would be $480 million per month (assuming 30 million) GROSS. We'd have to know more to see how much that is NET.

Just saying.... Apple Arcade is 100+m x $4.99 =$499+m and they don't have to produce content like Starfield in fact do they even make games at all?
adamsapple

Not exactly the same models, all game pass content is also sold on retail, not exclusively on the service. Starfield, for example, had already sold at least 2 million before its street date for the early-access versions and has been selling more since then as well.

Gotta pump up those fantasy numbers somehow. In total they’re probably slowly losing subscribers, but this seems to be yet another desperate attempt by MS to make things look much better than they actually are.

Apple just licenses games. And they’re pretty fun for mobile games
. Full games, no mtx, available from your pocket at all times. And if you have the Apple family sub, there’s an actual 5 user licenses for next to no extra money. Something Gamepass miserably failed at to offer. They really messed up the family Gamepass with the ridiculous pricing for it.

Eh if you read the other replies to my post, you'll see this is very old news and not associated with the recent core swap in any way. But the timing of this thread snaps your thinking there immediately, and it's sad that MS conduct is so low it's believable in a second

Yeh they really spent all their good boy credits over the past few years and it’s hard to believe anything they’d say at this moment. They’re really on a downward spiral here and sliding down into the depths faster and faster.

Not that your hate boner doesn't already show itself, but just FYI, this is derived from someones linked-in profile, not a 'desperate attempt' news piece.
