Microsoft has just published a report for the fourth quarter of its financial financial year of 2025. And this should boast, since the whole society has earned record sales. But we are most interested in the Xbox division. How did it happen? Let’s look at it.
First, I start with the total number of the company. For Q4 there were income from Microsoft 76.4 billion dollarsof which the net profit was 27.2 billion dollarsThe field is this number only for the quarter, as evidenced by the still strong position in the Microsoft market. Sales thus increased 18 % And net profit 24 % Compared to the previous year.
But let’s look at the Xbox game unit, which is most interested in us. She also coped very well. The general turn of the division made 23.46 billion dollars And the year has increased -on 10 %This is about 2 billion dollarsThe field besides, the general director of the company, Satya Valel boasted The largest publisher in the Xbox and PlayStation games. This is one of the strongest financial years of Xbox.
The turnover from services and content has increased 13 % (16 % year -YEAR)The field includes both the sales of content through digital trading and the subscription to Game Pass, which for the first time in history exceeded the sales limit 5 billion dollars! This shows how important Game Pass is, and that, despite various opinions, users are actively using it. Nevertheless, Microsoft has not published the current data of the subscribers (the last confirmed number is 34 million compared to last year).
The hardware has traditionally observed a decrease, this time by 22 % (25 % year -on -inch). The turnover amounted to 2.14 billion dollars. It is also due to the fact that Microsoft has more expensive consoles and accessories. In addition, this was inaccessible for a long time during the Christmas holidays in most Europe.
Microsoft also boasted that he has a monthly ecosystem 500 million active users On all devices, as evidenced by the widespread Xbox ecosystem, which no longer falls not only consoles, but also TVs, mobile phones, portable, cloud and other devices.
The general results of the Xbox unit are more than decent and make up an important part of Microsoft, despite the various opinions that we can read on the Internet. This is definitely not a dying platform. We must not forget that the Xbox is not just a console, and Microsoft believes that one of the ways to attract players to their ecosystem, and despite the constant reduction in sales of the console, tens of millions of players who spend their money in a digital store.
Looking in the future, Microsoft is preparing for the emergence of a new generation of Xbox, the introduction of the ASUS ROG Xbox ALLY, it has more than 40 gaming projects in development and plans a cult return of various brands for the 25th anniversary of Xbox next year.
The overall result is really very decent, and Microsoft is certainly very satisfied not only with the division of the game, but also with the general results of the company. It is not surprising that this is still one of the richest companies in the world.
