Microsoft has missed its growth target for Xbox Game Pass for the second year in a row. Earlier this week, the company …

Microsoft targeted a 73 percent growth rate for Game Pass for its fiscal year ending 30th June 2022. Instead, it managed just 28 percent growth.

The previous fiscal year had a target of 48 percent growth, but instead the company managed 38 percent. That followed an over-achievement the year before. Axios reports the target was tied to performance incentives for Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and other top executives.

Well to be fair.. we have had no real AAA forst party bangers from them. So its expected.

No major exclusives and the whole library is on PC. Not much to bother with for a PC owner.

M$ is still losing money. It doesn't matter when you just want to crush competitors

It's because Sony's +?

Did they ever hit any target?

Having an inferior console does that. Having mediocre developers does the rest.

Actually it didn’t miss anything. Targets are always above expectations to push assets and efforts. Not by chance it archieved 28%, what is remarkable in every market, specially those without new products (like delayed first party).

The beginning of the end for game pass

good. once they hit their targets they will shaft the subscribers.

Some people love to pay full price for games! Anyone with an xbox and a few brain cells has gamepass already.

Lol

Game Pass price increase hinted at by Xbox bossMicrosoft gaming CEO Phil Spencer has hinted that price increases for Xbox consoles, games, and subscription services, such as Xbox Game Pass, could be introduced next year. Would be ideal if they could up the prices (if need be) and remove gold. Seems a tad outdated now Even putting GPU to 20£ a month would be fine considering the sheer amount that we get from it. i honestly think with the current prices, we are getting an absolute steal. i kind of expected this.

Xbox has failed to reach its Game Pass subscriber target for the second year running | VGCMicrosoft has failed to reach its internal Xbox Game Pass subscriber growth target for the second year in a row. A 71% growth expectation sounds insane. L absence de gros jeuw et évidement un parc de consoles encore trop faibles empêche les scores d être plus important. Mais pour 2023 la situation devrait s améliorer même si c est sur la durée et donc la rétention des joueurs que le GP sera jugé.... pas si simple en fait.. Microsoft's fiscal year runs from 1 July 2021 to 30 June 2022. This means Xbox still didn't meet its Game Pass target despite Flight Simulator, Psychonauts 2, Halo Infinite campaign, dozens of new third party games and highly acclaimed Forza Horizon 5 day-and-date.
