- Xbox Game Pass reached “nearly $ 5 billion” in revenue in the last year
- Microsoft’s FY25 Q4 results reveal that Xbox game revenue has increased by 10% year-over-years and Xbox content and services have increased by 13%
- Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella also says there are 500 million monthly active users across game platforms and devices
Microsoft has shared a new milestone for Xbox Game Pass, which achieved “Nearly $ 5 billion” in revenue for the first time in the last year.
This performance was announced as part of the company’s FY25 Q4 Meeting Report describing the results of the last 12 months (ending June 30, 2025), with CEO Satya Nadella also revealing that Microsoft has 500 million monthly active users across game platforms and devices.
“We are now the top publisher of both Xbox and PlayStation this quarter,” Nadella said. “… Game Pass annual revenue was almost $ 5 billion for the first time” (via The Verge).
Generally, the Xbox gaming revenue increased by 10% year-over-years, and Xbox content and service conversions, which include Game Pass and first-party titles, have increased by 13% in this quarter.
This 13% increase could be attributed Indiana Jones and the big circle and Forza Horizon 5 Come to PS5.
Microsoft did not share the latest subscriber numbers for the service, so there is no way to know if there has been an increase or fall in members from 34 million players that the company revealed in February 2024.
However, the Xbox hardware revenue has fallen 22% in this quarter, which could be a consequence of Microsoft increasing the price of its Xbox Serals and Accessories earlier this year.
Along with hardware price increases, Microsoft also announced in May that some first-party titles will also be increased to $ 80 to match the cost of Nintendo Switch 2 games.
However, this plan can be changed as the company has since lowered the price of both The outer worlds 2 and Borderlands 4.
