By As Xbox games surpass 500 million monthly active players
As highlighted elsewhere on Pure Xbox, Microsoft has disclosed its most recent earnings report today for the quarter concluding on March 31st, revealing some unprecedented results for the Xbox brand.
Microsoft’s CEO, Satya Nadella, participated in an earnings call after the report and shared numerous accomplishments that Xbox reached during the quarter, which included asserting that Xbox was the leading publisher on PlayStation for pre-orders and pre-installs during that span. Here’s a summary of the milestones he mentioned:
This PS5 aspect doesn’t come as a huge surprise considering we underscored Xbox’s prominence with titles like Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, Forza Horizon 5, and DOOM: The Dark Ages back in late March. Still, it remains a notable accomplishment for Xbox to emerge as the leading publisher on a so-called “competing” platform.
Whether it’s welcomed or not, this degree of success suggests that Xbox is likely to transfer its entire first-party library to PS5 eventually, so don’t be shocked if titles like Halo and Gears of War appear on that console in the near future!
