Microsoft isn't updating its Xbox Game Pass subscriber numbers this quarter, but the company did share a metric around active gaming users. "We now have over 500 million monthly active users across platforms and devices," said Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella on an earnings call. "Our content pipeline has never been stronger."

Record-breaking engagement

 

[Cert.in.Death]

[Generic]

[Hero of Spielberg]

[Draugoth]

 

[tTHANOSs]

Man people really love their candy crush.

 

[feynoob]

Phil spencer did ride that car to get these numbers.

 

[onQ123]

MS paint still being put to good use I see

 

[RCU005]

Is he considering all the Fire TVs sold as Xbox devices?

And is he considering the people using these Fire TVs as active users, even if they are not using the Xbox app at all?

 

[Kerotan]

All those new sea of thieves users on playstation.

 

[lh032]

500 mil? whats next? 5 billion?

 

[Topher]

[Wooxsvan]

[Gaiff]

Pretty crazy that they sold around 480 million Xbox units in just a few months. Must be a record?

 

[LordCBH]

[ReyBrujo]

Pretty crazy that they sold around 480 million Xbox units in just a few months. Must be a record?

Finally Microsoft caught up with the demand!

 

[Jaybe]

About 361 million come from ABK, 240 million from Candy Crush

"Flying off the shelves"

 

[peish]

This ceo is clueless. He just got lucky MS stock prices boomed from the tech fomo.
He is overpaid and done shit tbh

An idea for Microsoft, buy Oracle to get Java and add another 3 billion users.

 

[Sushi_Combo]

Are sony players part of those metrics now

 

[Warnen]

499,999,999 now

 

[digital_ghost]

Rename it Mr Booty after Matt Booty.

 

[Kacho]

Yes, anyone playing a game owned by Microsoft across all platforms.

 

[LordCBH]

Are sony players part of those metrics now

Every screen is an Xbox so obviously.

 

[ZehDon]

USD$69b so they can pretend Candy Crush Mums are playing Halo Infinite.

'member when Halo 2 was the biggest game the world had ever seen? Firing up Xbox Live, playing console multiplayer for the first time, thinking match making was fucking magic? 'member when Xbox shook the industry? I 'member.

 

[UltimaKilo]

After a lot of money and a change in strategy. So why is Phil Spencer still at the helm? He'd likely mess this up too.

Was Halo 2 was great, but it will never compare to Halo 1.

 

[Jaybe]

I bet if you play CoD, Diablo 4, and Halo Infinite, Satya will count you as 3 users

how come halo 2 doesnt compare to halo 1 for you?

[GHound]

Mason will never be able to tell me what the numbers mean now.

 

[tusharngf]

thats candy crush the juggernaut.. nothing beats KING when it comes to revenue

 

[vaibhavpisal]

Thats pretty impressive considering world population is just 8 billion.

MS is doing what they like best.

Hopefully their teams will be able to make heavy hitters for still untapped markets.

 

[clarky]

Wrong.

how come halo 2 doesnt compare to halo 1 for you?

Halo CE Had the better campaign but Halo 2 had better Multiplayer.

This comes from someone who played CE every sunday on LAN.

 

[IntentionalPun]

Xbox is a brand that encompasses everything they have released and all that their subsidiaries released before acquisition.

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

 

[Kamina]

About 361 million come from ABK, 240 million from Candy Crush

So if someone is actively playing CoD, Diablo (on Xbox or Xbox PC App) and something else on Gamepass they count that user 3 times?
Or do they then just count the user if thy play on stream or ps5?

 

[DavidGzz]

Diablo 4 has been pretty successful on Steam Deck. It will get a huge boost with the expansion.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

meaningless metrics

 

[Avid Reading Horse]

I wonder how they are managing to count me despite having my Series X unplugged for almost 2 years and having removed the Game Bar crap via PowerShell package manager commands...

I guess it probably still exists on my laptop.

 

[Jibran#one]

Why do I feel like anyone who played sea of theives on ps is also included in this one.
And 500 million Meaning all the gatcha free to play games including

 

[SHA]

Xbox is de box!!!
