Multiple reports citing market and company information say Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass has about 30 million subscribers, which is roughly 4 million fewer than publicized figures from 2024. NDTV and Eurogamer both describe a decline over the past two years, while noting that the service is not growing as Microsoft expected. Separately, Digital Trends reports that a Bloomberg account of internal expectations put a target of 77 million subscribers by fiscal 2026, indicating a large gap between current subscriber levels and planned goals. Polygon and Metro similarly report that the subscriber base is well below target levels, describing the shortfall as significant. NDTV also includes a statement from Xbox CEO Asha Sharma, who says Game Pass “did not grow at the pace we expected.” Taken together, the articles present a consistent picture: Game Pass subscriber numbers are around 30 million and trail both earlier results and longer-term targets discussed in reporting. The sources do not provide detailed methodology or confirm audited subscriber figures, but they agree on the headline scale of the shortfall.
