Xbox Game Pass Now Has Over 10 Million Subscribers

Wow, Congratz on 10 million subscribers.. That number is only gonna keep going up from here on out..

This is awesome. This service is my favourite thing to happen with video games since.. video games themselves, I guess. Keep growing!

Wasn't sure about the service when it was first announced but it's awesome. I still like to buy the game out-right on physical or digital to show support for the really well made ones, but Game Pass is awesome because you can use it to 'demo' games you're unsure of or for people in a difficult spot when it comes to being able to purchase games, they still have an opportunity to get the full experience even if it acts as more of a rental. It's a win for all parties involved.

I agree. It's amazing. You can try and play hundreds of games and buy the ones you like the most. Game Pass and backwards compatibility are two things that has made Xbox the best gaming platform. Now all that is left is those Xbox Game Studios to do a good job and not rest in their laurels.

I agree completely. Game Pass is amazing. I was a bit skeptical at first because I like to buy my games on disc, if possible. And I still do.

However, it also enables me to not wear out my disc drive (which has happened to me in the past on multiple consoles from all three big companies) if the game I am playing is also on Game Pass.

It also lets me play a Microsoft 1st party game on day 1 (Gears 5, for example) even if I don’t want to (or can’t) drop $60 on a game the day it comes out. It’s super handy.

And it will also get me to try games I may not try otherwise. It’s the best deal in gaming & nothing even comes close.

I miss video rental stores, but this service is a decent replacement. Hell of a selection for a good price.

Live is on Xbox One and PC and crazy as it might seem I wouldn't be shocked if there's plenty of active 360 users (the console did sell over 80 million units) with a Live account. Given all that, the number doesn't seem too crazy, especially since all of the big 3 charge for online play now and Live is easily the best service. And it's just going to continue to go up as, unlike his predecessors, Nadella actually cares about Xbox. For Gates and Ballmer it at times seemed like something they considered nothing more than a silly side project. If Nadella has MS puts its full weight behind the brand, the sky is the limit.

@roe There are because Xbox Live is currently used on Xbox One, Windows and Xbox 360.

Live is also on Switches/PS4 technically as well so I'm sure all those contribute that they number.

All in all impressive numbers, gamepass is one of the best deals in gaming!

Its making Xbox One the cheapest console I've ever owned. I buy games on my PS4/Switch, but don't bother on Xbox. I just download them

Game Pass brought me back into the Xbox ecosystem. I'm a gamer on a budget and the value is just too damn good. Game Pass + the first party expansion = good times ahead
