Xbox Game Pass has over 10 million subscribers, says Microsoft

Xbox Game Pass has 10 million subscribers, Microsoft has finally confirmed.

Microsoft CEO, Satya Nadella, made the confirmation, revealing that the company has seen “record levels of engagement” with over 10 million Xbox Game Pass subscribers and nearly 90 million monthly Xbox Live active users.

At X019 in London late last year, Xbox head Phil Spencer admitted to Stevivor that Microsoft has “been a little bit opaque [about] how many subscribers” the subscription service has, but that it’s “a good business” for the company.

“Game Pass for us right now is a good business,” Spencer said. “It’s something that we’re comfortable running the way it is and it’s more than doubled in size, year over year. It’s on a great trajectory.”

Xbox Game Pass is a subscription service that provides access to a library of over 100 Xbox One titles. Xbox Game Pass Ultimate bundles the service for both PC and Xbox One, alongside access to Xbox Live. In short, Ultimate is a bit of a no-brainer for consumers.
