Though Microsoft didn’t share an exact number on the Game Pass subscribers either in the earnings results reporting or conference call for Q2 2023, that detail is still impressive. Game Pass not only continues to be one of the best deals in gaming, but also a major money maker for Microsoft gaming revenue. Then, during the call, Nadella revealed briefly that Game Pass subscribers hit a high in Microsoft’s Q2 2023. However, even in that reporting, it was suggested that success of the Game Pass program and new subscribers helped to offset the losses. Microsoft saw a few misses in Q2 in its gaming business, including its hardware sales, which were down 13 percent from the previous year’s quarter. Nadella shared this brief comment during the conference call for Microsoft’s Q2 2023 earnings results on January 24, 2023. It was there that CEO Satya Nadella shared that Game Pass had a subscriber high during the previous quarter.
