Game Pass set a new quarterly record for revenue and grew its peak PC subscriber base by over 30%.
Satya specifically called out increasing profitability further, for specific videogames too, so expect a lot more ports to Switch/PS to be announced soon because that's how they're increasing their profitability. They're focused on profit margins now.
They also spoke about focusing on higher margins for Xbox hardware so they seem done with subsiding the console.
