Xbox Game Pass continues to be a massive success for Microsoft, and the service is still growing.
On Tuesday, Microsoft announced that Xbox Game Pass now has more than 25 million subscribers. This milestone went a smidge unnoticed due to Microsoft acquiring Activision Blizzard, but Xbox boss Phil Spencer claims that subscribers can look forward to the company’s stable of games once the deal comes to a close.
“We also announced today that Game Pass now has more than 25 million subscribers,” Spencer said in a press release. “As always, we look forward to continuing to add more value and more great games to Game Pass.”
Hard to believe that Xbox now owns Call of duty, World of Warcraft, Diablo, Tony Hawk, and loads more. Most video game industry professionals are still reeling from the announcement.
Today is a historic moment. We are excited to announce that the world-renowned franchises and talented people at @ATVI_AB will be joining Team Xbox!

It’s unclear which of Activision Blizzard games will still release on PlayStation platforms, especially heavy-hitters like Overwatch 2 and Diablo 4 that would be excellent exclusives for Xbox to parade around. Ironically, Spencer commented on PlayStation’s rumored Game Pass competitor, saying it “makes sense,” among other things.
Last year was huge for Xbox Game Pass, and it doesn’t seem like the momentum is slowing down at all.
