Xbox Game Pass May Already Have 23 Million Subscribers
We have learned that the number of Xbox Game Pass subscribers has exceeded 23 million. It is expected that by the end of the year this result will increase to more than 30 million.
Jez Corden of WindowsCentral revealed that there are already 23 million people using the Game Pass subscription. This is the state as of April 20. Until the official confirmation, this number should be taken with a grain of salt, but the source has a good reputation.
In January Microsoft boasted 18 million subscribers, so the growth rate is impressive. The service still has a lot of growth potential. Corden predicts that by the end of the year Game Pass will exceed the threshold of 30 million subscribers without much trouble.
Achieving such a result would not be a special surprise. The attractiveness of Game Pass is constantly increasing, so it's no wonder that the number of people paying for the subscription is going up as well.
Microsoft has recently bought a number of developers, including the Zenimax Media group, owner of, among others, Bethesda Softworks. Many of the games of these studios have already entered the Game Pass offer, increasing the attractiveness of the subscription. It is also known that the same fate will meet all future games from company-owned teams.
In addition, the Redmond giant recently came to an agreement with Electronic Arts and game from EA Play offer were added to the subscription.
