Microsoft’s Gaming Ecosystem Reaches 500 Million Monthly Active Users

In a recent financial update, Microsoft’s CEO Satya Nadella announced that the company’s gaming ecosystem boasts over 500 million monthly active users (MAUs) across all platforms. Despite a 40% year-on-year decline in hardware sales, there was a notable increase in software sales and a 61% rise in ‘Xbox Content and Services’ revenue. The success of the Fallout series on Amazon Prime significantly boosted engagement on Game Pass. Microsoft’s CFO, Amy Hood, acknowledged ongoing hardware revenue decline but highlighted positive outcomes from the Activision Blizzard acquisition, enhancing Microsoft’s portfolio across PC, console, and mobile platforms.
