According to the report, Xbox Game Pass currently have 25 million subscribers and a new report claims that the Game Pass will reach 100 million subscribers when Activision games will be available at no additional cost in the Microsoft service catalog: the well-known analyst Michael Pachter is convinced of this.
Just as the first tests on the family plan are being conducted to share the Xbox Game Pass subscription, Pachter spoke to the microphones of Yahoo Finance about what will happen when the various episodes of Call of Duty but also the most famous Blizzard titles will become accessible to platform users.
Microsoft had an idea a few years ago that I thought was stupid: to launch a subscription and have users pay them to play their games,” Pachter said. “The point is, they didn’t have a large catalog.
“So they started making acquisitions and bought six independent studios, the biggest of which was Obsidian. They’re very good, nothing to say, but then they bought Bethesda, which is a huge company, and now they’re buying Activision.”
“When the deal is finalized, Microsoft will be the fourth largest video game maker in the US. They will become an industry giant and find themselves in a position where they can effectively support Game Pass subscriptions.”
“Their vision for the future is to eliminate consoles, use the cloud and bring their games to any screen – a potential market of 3.5 billion people. I don’t think the Xbox Game Pass numbers will reach these figures. but will it go from 25 to 100 million? Yes. ”
