They announced 18M in Jan. I think with Halo, XGP can reach 35M by the end of 2021.
I'm curious what the numbers will be once more games get released, like Halo Infinite, Forza Horizon 5, Starfield, Psychonauts 2, Deathloop, Ghostwire Tokyo, Flight Simulator on Xbox, Hellblade 2, Avowed, Everwild, Perfect Dark, Fable, Forza Motorsport, Kojima's next game, etc.
My first thought was "man, wait until the next Elder Scrolls releases" but that's probably too far away to consider, lol.
Damn, thats a lot of money every month. At minimum every month they are looking at earning between 229.77 Million (23m * $9.99) And at maximum thet are looking at 345 Million (23m * $15).
Given that a Modern AAA Game costs anywhere from 40-80 Milliion to produce, Microsoft earns the equivelent budget of 2-4 AAA games every month. No wonder they are going all in on Game-Pass

Pretty crazy considering MS still hasn't really seen the results of expanding their 1st party so aggressively. Once their heavy hitters start coming I expect to see these numbers rise sharply.
There are alot of people that got gamepass way cheaper than that (gold-gamepass transfer and promo incentives) and no AAA game these days is under 80 million.
They are on the right track though.
I get that but better to hear it officially, y'know? Like I said we won't have to wait long.
At this point, they have to be beyond thrilled with the results. I'm going to hold on to the subscription even when I'm not playing too much. Just having the means for family and friends to turn on the system and find something they me be interested in is a good thing!
If correct, that's impressive.
But I think the best is yet to come with xCloud (when Beta ends and it comes to TVs and PCs), All Access, the end of shortages and the big first-party releases.

That is bang on target for what I thought it would be. Fantastic growth and well past the tipping point for this being the industry leading and a totally sustainable subscription service. This will only grow as MS's acquired studios really start to churn out content, supported by bigger 3rd party day one deals. Similarly, more and more people with buy new consoles using All Access and PC subs will pick up more once streaming comes fully online.
It'll be a bit of a push but they can get to 25m by e3.
The snowball effect of this massive number is more 3rd parties will want in on it. Publishers AND developers.

Nice....well done Phil. Halo Infinite should bring it to 30million...then FH5, Starfield another 5 - 8 millions🤪...😉
To sustain this growth and keep engagement high Xbox needs to be even more aggressive with 3P GP deals, 1P output and acquisitions.

Agreed. It's incredible when you consider that to date the biggest games released into were Horizon 4 nearly three years ago and Gears 5 nearly two years ago. Good optics seems to equal adoption. The real killer will be when the halo markting train gets rolling.
Just as important as adding more games to the service will be opening it up to more devices. They're beta testing iOS and PC streaming now. I can easily see that they could have iOS, PC, Smart TVs, and a dongle by the end of the year. Couple that with swapping out the server blades for Series X and it'll be both much more compelling to stream while also much easier and widely available.

At the end of the quarter they'll almost be able to afford a new game
This would be revenue,not profit.
They still have to pay third parties to come to gp.
I mean... why? We're just talking about it online. And it's from a reputable source. If you're saying no one should bet their life savings on this, I agree. But we can't discuss it? I don't get that.
It won't be 23 million since the Q3 data ends in march. So any new subscribers in april wouldn't be counted towards these official numbers yet (and that's probably a lot of new subscribers with 2 new AAA releases on the service).
