Game Pass subscriptions have slowed in the fiscal year 2021 according to new documents released by Microsoft.
In a new financial statement, Microsoft revealed that Xbox Game Pass subscriptions rose by 37.5% falling short of its internal target of 47.8%. In contrast, last year Microsoft over-performed on its targets to grow Xbox Game Pass, increasing subscriptions by nearly 86% over a goal of 71%.
What this means is that Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass subscriptions have slowed this past year, and it’s likely a combination of factors. One of the key promises of Xbox Game Pass is that first-party titles will be available on the service day and date. So far in 2021, first-party titles have been relegated mostly to Age of Empire remasters, Microsoft Flight Simulator, and Psychonauts 2.
New first-party titles like Age of Empire 4 and Halo Infinite are still months…
