| Ryuu96 said: Gold had 11.7m subs as of FY22, leaked by the FTC, Game Pass Console had 21.9m which means PC would have had roughly 3.1m at the time. The EU also (leaked?) that around 70%-80% of Game Pass subscribers are on Game Pass Ultimate. |
So maybe rather than them having lost some Gold subs between January 2022 and January 2024, alot of that 12m had already made the jump to Gamepass Ultimate before Gamepass Core was announced, so there was only like 3m Gold subs left to convert into Gamepass Core. That PC number is honestly pretty low, considering Gamepass PC released 2 and a half years before that, so only 3.1m Gamepass PC subs in the first 2 and a half years. I think Xbox really needs to open Gamepass up to Steam, it's time to give up on trying to grow Windows Store/UWP into a thing for gaming, it just isn't happening. Epic has thrown billions at taking away Steam marketshare and have gained barely an, Xbox just isn't going to be able to grow Windows Store into a popular gaming storefront with Gamepass PC as a lure into the ecosystem.
I'd think Gamepass being added to Steam would net them like 3m new subs in just that quarter.
