Xbox monthly active users surpasses 120 million

João Silva January 26, 2023 Software & Gaming

While Microsoft saw a decline in gaming revenue last quarter, the number of monthly active Xbox users is up. As of last quarter, Xbox set a new record of 120 million MAUs. 

As VGC reports, in the second quarter of Microsoft's fiscal year, Xbox has registered record-breaking numbers of game streaming hours, active devices, and monthly active users on Xbox, peaking at over 120 million.

The partnerships Microsoft was able to land with publishers such as Riot Games and Ubisoft have apparently helped with Game Pass growth. Moreover, the company has a strong lineup ahead for the first half of 2023, including titles like Forza Motorsport, Redfall, Minecraft Legends and Starfield.

Game Pass and Xbox as a whole should see further gains this year. With games such as Starfield being available at launch for Xbox Game Pass subscribers, and also launching exclusively on Xbox platforms, Xbox console sales and Game Pass subscriptions should both rise.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
