Microsoft’s subscription service consolidates with a great state of exit before the arrival of all the ZeniMax (Bethesda) studios.
Microsoft has confirmed that Xbox Game Pass has reached 15 million subscribers worldwide. The last known official data dates from last April, when there were 10 million players subscribed to the service. This is a growth of 5 million players (50% of its previous total) in just five months; one million per month.
Xbox Game Pass gains followers in 2020 for Xbox Series X | S
As the North American company has advanced in a meeting with Bloomberg on the occasion of the purchase of ZeniMax Media, which carries all Bethesda’s studies and licenses, satisfaction with its user loyalty ecosystem grows as expected.
In the latest financial report of the company (data until June 30, 2020), Microsoft reflected an 11% growth in the benefits obtained from its digital content and services; an upward evolution that they blamed, mainly, for the confinements derived from the COVID-19 pandemic. The challenge, however, is not to lose faithful from now on. From this month of September includes streaming game (formerly known as xCloud) at no additional cost on all Android terminals.
Xbox Series X | S are nourished in the face of the new generation
The purchase of ZeniMax Media by Microsoft has become one of the news of the decade in the video game sector not only for what it implies but for what it entails. If EA Play had already been received as outreach news for the Xbox user, the incorporation of previous and future games from the eight Bethesda Softworks studios (Bethesda Game Studios, id Software, ZeniMax Online Studios, Arkane, MachineGames, Tango Gameworks , Alpha Dog and Roundhouse Studios) represents a major qualitative and quantitative leap for the platform.
All games from Bethesda Studios become part of Xbox Game Studios, and therefore Xbox Game Pass.
The future now passes through Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X, whose reservations will open this September 22 worldwide. Everything was calculated to lead players to a successful launch of these two new consoles (whose differences you can know in detail here) this November 10 at a price of 299 euros and 499 euros, respectively.
