Xbox Game Pass now has over 18 million subscribers

Terrible numbers. To tell you why

April to September: 5 million

September till today: 3 million

from September till now they had: Disney plus deal fumination deal xcloud launch new console launch Bethesda announcement. Yet April to September had more growth then the holiday season growth.

Don’t get me started on all those deals for the holidays. this is terrible numbers when you have context
Exactly. It's easy to see why they pulled that Gold price increase stunt. It's slowing down for sure and for it to be during the busiest quarter of the year that isn't good.

Yes sure go ahead.
Please @ me when xgs release a 20+ hour single player only goty winning experience or two that also doesn't release on ps5 & is day & date on gamepass.

If that happens, I'll believe in gp.
Hmm Doom Eternal?

Tell us how many AAA exclusive games they released from September to now.

TIL that no other company in history has ever announced an unpopular decision designed to make more money, caught shit for that decision, and backtracked on it completely. Only MS has ever done that, ever. Like ever. Ever in history.

It's not like Sony is charging 70 bucks for games now...

Also, why are people carrying on like MS hasn't rescinded the Live price increase? Nothing changed in the end. They listened to their customers. Admitting a mistake and fixing the mistake should count for something, right?

Impressive numbers. I'd be curious how many it would be if they dropped Xbox Live Gold. I imagine a lot of people would switch over because of the extra disposable income they would have.

Really wish PlayStation Now took the same approach. Game Pass is such a great offering, especially if you have a brand new system. There is so many games to play, and with great backwards compatibility support too.

Only 17.5 hours. Fuck.


Maybe Moon should have added 1 hour of cutscenes, 1 hour of slowly walking down a corridor and 1 hour of playing Crash Bandicoot on Ku’s PS1.

Good numbers but we'll see how many of us they keep when all of our GPU conversion expires in 2022/23 and they still don't have release dates. By then I'll just buy the games I'm interested in.

Tell me how many MS games are available on Gamepass till date? And also, they've launched Gamepass on Android Phones. So, yes, IMO growth isn't that big.
You guys cry that Microsoft has no games right? Isn't that the narrative for years? Well....they released no games. So obviously growth won't be that big. If Halo released it would've been in the 20 millions easy

They're at 18 million off no exclusives.

Just wait until Sony bundles all their shit into GamePass but forgets about Plus subs.

I mean Funi is already there, I'm watching you Sony.

voted poster of the decade by bots
But wait, I thought GAF declared all gamepass subs were fake/meaningless 1 or 3 month trails........this would mean they had no idea what they were talking about..........

And don't forget, gamepass is failing and ms has no idea what they are doing........please.....

If you were better at math you’d see there’s monthly growth. In no way are these numbers bad.

Wow! Double the amount of Xbox Ones in the wild! :messenger_beaming:

I know you're joking (although I don't know how many XOs there are), but it's worth mentioning that GP is also on PC.

Here's a list of PC games on GP for those who are interested:
Coming Soon:

  • January 26 - Cyber Shadow
  • January 28 - Yakuza Remastered Collection
  • January 28 - The Medium

Every game on Xbox Games Pass for PC​

Leaving soon from Xbox Game Pass for PC​

Leaving February 1, 2021

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.

Gotta move them goalposts - all of these subs are now people who spent hundreds of dollars on front-loading Gold subs and converted them to Game Pass Ultimate. It was ONLY $1! (+ Microsoft got nearly $200 up front from you for those Gold subs) lol

Oh.... and what the fuck does best launch month for Xbox mean?

Does that mean they sold more Series X/S than Xbox one did in the launch month? Or does it mean they revenue is higher than it was at any previous launch?

I mean, it's just word-soup.



Interesting that for Xbox live they say active users, which means it’s not subscribers, and for Gamepass they say subscribers but they don’t say active.

Words, how do they work.

and what ? you think it has to be linear and only growth for it to be suspenseful and that any slow mean it's doomed ?
if yes, you are a fool ....

I still don't understand why people shit on Game Pass (and even continue to). If it's not your thing, okay, fine, whatever. But clearly it's pretty successful.
People don't like things that are not done the "Sony" way. It is a common theme anything not the "Sony" is shit on. Backwards compatibility was a archaic shit feature until the ps5 had it for another example.

Didn’t PS2 play PS1 games? Did xbox exist when PS2 came out?
