Microsoft doesn’t brag too much about the achievements of its gaming division, doesn’t publish console sales, and we don’t often hear from it about subscriber numbers. Xbox Game Pass. Fortunately, there are employees of the American giant who brag about their successes on their resumes.
Mark Skwarsky, who served as Product Marketing Manager for Xbox Game Pass for 4 years and 9 months until September/September 2022, reports that from early 2018 to September 2022, the service grew from 5 million customers to over 25 million. Thanks to this expansion in four years sales rose to over two billion dollars.
The number of active users per month was expected to increase 15 times in more than 26 markets, and the number of PC Game Pass subscribers was expected to increase five times over the same period. This particular fare had 15 million players to try out, and partnerships with Netflix, HBO, Disney, F1 and Paramount were also noted.
Skwarsky continues to work at Microsoft, since the summer of 2022 he is the product manager for the entire Xbox. He leads a group that tries to recognize the needs of players and meet them with the right set of games, devices and services/business models.

Game Pass subscribers should prepare for the release of other games. In the middle of the month, the service will say goodbye to 8 titles, including several already familiar ones. The biggest debate about leaving Quantum Rift (console). The Remedy adventure game is owned by Microsoft, which generally does not remove games from the library. Therefore, it is assumed that a remaster/remake is just around the corner. But there is no evidence of such a possibility.
Game Pass will also come o Life is Strange: True Colors (console and PC), Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Extraction (console), long darkness (console and PC), moonglove bay (console and PC), Rift Breaker (console and PC), Nachelbeck Dungeon: Amulet of Chaos (console and PC) 2nd Panzer Corps (PC).
All of these games will be retired on April 15, 2023. However, Minecraft Legends, Coffee Talk: Episode 2, Cassette Beasts, and Ghostwire: Tokyo, among others, will be coming to the subscription this month.
