Microsoft CFO Aims to Transition Xbox into Subscription Business, Citing Game Pass Success


Microsoft CFO Amy Hood expresses intentions to shift Xbox towards a subscription model, highlighting the success of Xbox Game Pass

During an investor call after the financial report, Amy Hood emphasized the company’s intention to utilize its extensive content portfolio to expand its global user base. “I do think the real goal here is to be able to take a broad set of content to more users in more places, and really build what looks more like, to us, a software annuity and subscription business with enhanced transactions and the ownership of IP, which is quite valuable long term. The decision to launch high-profile titles, such as “Call of Duty: Black Ops 6,” on Game Pass from day one—scheduled for release on October 25—demonstrates a firm commitment to the subscription model.
