Xbox Game Pass now has 15 million subscribers representing an increase of 50% in just a space of six months. Microsoft had revealed that the service had 10 million subscribers in April 2020.
The Xbox Game Pass is a subscription service that costs about $9.99 per month and gives subscribers access to play over 100 Xbox games on their device.
Microsoft has used Xbox as its major weapon in the gaming war over competitors. It has been marketing it more frequently and the reason is not far-fetched. The company wants it to be the go-to service for people who do not want the Xbox console.
Recently, Microsoft has been buying more gaming firms to further increase Xbox Game Pass popularity. For example, it had added xCloud game streaming service to it and just bought ZeniMax Media. By buying ZeniMax, Microsoft can unleash the power of Bathesda Softworks, along with Doom and Fallout studio.
