Discussing Microsoft's latest Game Pass figures, Spencer assured Totilo the 9m subscribers added to the service since January 2022 - when Microsoft announced Game Pass had amassed a total of 25m members- were "fully paid" and did not include promotional players. Spencer also insisted the number of Xbox Live Gold members now being counted as Game Pass subscribers following the service's rebranding to Game Pass Core last year was "pretty small", and that many of its new members have come via PC and cloud. The company has also announced Diablo 4's impending Game Pass arrival- the first Activision Blizzard title to hit the service following Microsoft's$69bn acquisition of the publisher last year - and moved to assuage fan fears its multiplatform strategy will herald the end of its Xbox hardware business, with Xbox president Sarah Bond confirming Microsoft is currently working on a "next-generation" Xbox that's aiming to deliver "the largest technical leap that you will have ever seen in a hardware generation."
