The Xbox Game Pass subscriber count has now surpassed 25 million as of the latest official count from 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Microsoft.

The last public numbers from Microsoft pointed to a total Game Pass subscriber count of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:18 million, which means the service's reach has continued to 🍬expand rapidly despite that revealed it had fallen short of its overall growth goal.

Microsoft delivered the news alongside its announcement that it's now in the process of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:buying Activision Blizzard, the parent company of major gaming franchises including Call o🍸f Duty, Warcraft, Candy Crush Saga, and many more. Xbox boss Phil Spencer said in a message posted to that the deal will mean a new bounty of games for Game Pass as well.

"Upon close, we will offer as many Activision Blizzard games as we can within Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass, both new titles and games from Activision Blizzard’s incredible catalog," Spencer wrote. "We also announced today that Game Pass now has more than 25 million subscribers. As always, we look forwar💮d to continuing to add more value and more great games to Game Pass."

That stops short of confirming any specific titles being headed to Game Pass. Looking back at Microsoft's last big gaming-related purchase, we know that Bethesda's biggest upcoming games, including 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Starfield and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Redfall, were all earmarked for a day-one launch on Game Pass soon after the company was purchased by Microsoft. That said, Activision Blizzard is a very different company from Bethesda, and its Gameꦇ Pass-related arrangements with Microsoft may differ.
