UFC 5 was released in 2023, and no this list doesn't include microtransaction spending.... Indie should not have dropped out of the top 10 on Xbox in only it's second month and losing to older gamepass titles. Also note this is for Xbox only and Flightsim is almost certainly more popular on PC. Outside of CoD of course this was meant to be their big title of the year. The steam player count was the first sign something was up but this is the smoking gun.

I kind of agree with you that the sales doesn't seem to be great for Indy but you are screaming Doom when Nadella and especially Disney are happy with the results and seem to want more games...

I know FMS is popular on PC but I don't really know how much it matters, I tend to buy all my games on PC and then just play it on my xbox don't those count as xbox games sales? 

I assume the chart includes purchases through Xbox store on PC.

A company saying they are happy does not always mean they are happy. They're not going to say it's doing bad, especially when they have it launching on another system soon. I assume right now they are probably banking on strong results from the PS5 launch.
