Xbox Monthly Active Users Hit Past 120 Million

Microsoft said that its Xbox and Xbox Game Pass service has attracted a record 120 million monthly active users during the quarter that ended in December 2022.

This was announced during Microsoft’s second-quarter earnings call this week via CEO Satya Nadella, adding that Xbox saw “new highs for Game Pass” during that period of time. The company attributed the success to the new Game Pass partners they made like Riot Games, who run and own League of Legends and Valorant.

“In gaming, we continued to pursue our ambition to give players more choice, to play great games wherever, whenever and however they want.

We saw new highs for Game Pass subscriptions, game streaming hours and monthly active devices. And monthly active users surpassed a record 120 million during the quarter.

We continue to invest to add value to Game Pass. This quarter we partnered with Riot Games to make the company’s PC and mobile games, along with premium content, available to subscribers.

And finally, we are energised by our upcoming line-up of triple-A launches including exciting new titles from ZeniMax and Xbox Game Studios, and we’ll be sharing details and gameplay at our showcase tomorrow.”

On a related note, Microsoft will host an Xbox and Bethesda developer direct livestream tomorrow at 4am. Stay tuned to Kakuchopurei for details on that.
