Xbox Game Pass is a game subscription service launched by Microsoft, which allows users to enjoy hundreds of high-quality games on PC, console or cloud, and is currently one of the best subscription services. The service recently announced an astonishing statistic: the number of users on the PC side has exceeded 15 million.

Microsoft has been working to expand the coverage of Xbox in recent years, not only limited to consoles, but also involves PCs, mobile devices, smart TVs and other platforms, and attracts more players through services such as Game Pass and Xbox Cloud.
Additionally, Microsoft offers PC users premium first-party titles such as Doom Eternal and The Elder Scrolls V, as well as highly anticipated titles such as the upcoming Red Fall and Starfield . These games will be added to Game Pass on the day of release, allowing subscribers to experience them first.
Previously, it was reported that the total number of XGP subscribers has exceeded 25 million, which means that PC-side users may have a wider coverage than host-side users.
It’s worth noting that there may be some overlap between users on the PC side and users on the console side, but this does not affect Game Pass’ achievements on the PC platform. Some analysts predict that if Microsoft successfully acquires Activision Blizzard, the total number of Game Pass subscribers may reach 50 million, and PC users will also grow accordingly.
It can be said that Microsoft has used Game Pass to create a subscription platform that satisfies both players and developers, making Xbox no longer just a host brand, but a comprehensive game ecosystem.
