I’ve been writing about video games, television and movies for Forbes for over 10 years, and you may have seen my reviews on Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic. I cover all manner of console and PC games, but if it’s about looting or shooting, I’m definitely there. If I’m watching something, it’s usually science fiction, horror or superheroic.
for Xbox. This was two years into the Xbox One generation where unlike the 360/PS3 generation, it had fallen precipitously behind PlayStation after a rocky launch.
But now, it has been nearly two years since Microsoft officially reported Xbox Game Pass subscriber numbers. In January 2022 Microsoft said Game Pass had 25 million subscribers. We only got a hint at the 30 million milestone in September of this year when a single LinkedIn profile of an Xbox Marketing Director said it was 30 million for a brief time, before it was changed to 25. Hardly official. Now, we’re about two months away from January 2024 with no new figures.
Now, after this, we know a lot more big games are coming, most of which are from Microsoft’s acquired studios. I have to believe that Microsoft is waiting to see, for instance, how much of a driver Call of Duty coming to Game Pass will be for subscriptions, even if that’s not happening for at least another year, and not with this year’s Modern Warfare 3.
