A few weeks ago, during a digital meeting, the president of Take Two assured that Xbox Game Pass has 30 million subscribers, something that Phil Spencer, present in that same talk, did not want to confirm at that time. Later, the figure returned to around 23 million and today the head of the Xbox brand has returned to answer the question of how many users does Xbox Game Pass have.
In the same interview with The Wall Street Journal in which Spencer assures that they “are not finished” buying studios, the Xbox boss again refers to the last public number of Xbox Game Pass subscribers shared by Microsoft at the beginning of the year. That is to say, 18 million subscribers. “We are left with our last public number, 18 million subscribers. We will announce another cipher at some point«.

It is logical to think that after so many months compared to this last figure, the number of Xbox Game Pass subscribers has changed significantly. The question now is not only to know the approximate total, but when will be that ideal moment that Spencer talks about to give more details about the performance of Xbox Game Pass. Presumably, with the arrival of Forza Horizon 5 and Halo Infinite in the coming months, it will wait until the end of the year or early 2022.
As for the service itself, Xbox Game Pass continues to update its catalog every month with games of all kinds, including first-run games and other releases of the year, such as Scarlet Nexus. This first half of October Xbox Game Pass has eight new games.
