That's interesting because they missed their milestone for 2021 and 2022 then stopped reporting their numbers for 2023. I kind of doubt they're making a real profit from Game Pass, else they'd be boasting about it more.
Last year they reported 25 million subscribers. Even if every single one of those was the $10 plan, that equates to $3 Billion. Seems like they are doing okay.
Depends on how many used deals to upgrade Gold or whatever.
25 million x 10 = 250 million
250 million - 1 billion = −750 million
I think $10 is per month, so multiply that by 12 to get the $3B
I knew I got something wrong lol
