I would have expected it to be more with 3 month deals for 1$ and all the other deals.

I guess MS expected to be higher by now as well, hence buying another juggernaut to stimulate game pass.

Was thinking the same. The growth ware more impressive the previous years even if the catalog was kind of lackluster. They added a great variety of games this year, and some of them were day one stuff as well, and the Bethesda showcase at E3, Forza, and Halo Infinite, would've expected more than 5 million new subscribers since June 2021.

Indeed. They just released their biggest games, have the pandemic working for them (more time to game, less availability of competing platforms) and have the by far the best deals around.

As long as MS keeps pouring money into gamepass we can continue to play games on the cheap. But I do wonder about the long term damage. I can't be the only one that's spending less and less on gaming thanks to gamepass, console games on PC and all the other deals around.
