Xbox FY25 Q1 Total Gaming Revenue Up by 43%, All From Activision
Xbox has been struggling recently when it comes to finances, as its consoles aren't selling as well as the company had hoped. As a result, they have started pushing their software and subscription services more. Despite that, they made several changes to the subscription costs of Xbox Game Pass, which led to a lot of outrage from people in the gaming community as the prices increased. The price wasn't just adjusted in one country, but the price for Game Pass Ultimate, Core, and PC Game Pass were all increased, with the cost of Game Pass Ultimate increasing from $16 to $19.99 for a monthly subscription. Despite their price increases, their finances still weren't looking great. It's been confirmed in the Microsoft FY25 Q1 (July-September) report that Activision has been heavily pulling the weight for them.
