Xbox Game Pass currently has around 30 million subscribers, according to a person familiar with the matter that spoke with The Wall Street Journal<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The document that was shown during the Activision Blizzard trial revealed the original goal was to reach 77 million subscribers this year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Xbox Game Pass had reached 34 million subscribers as of February 2024<\/a>. This was before Call of Duty launched on the service day one. However, reports claimed the number of subscribers fell by millions when Xbox raised the price of the Ultimate tier to $30 per month.\u00a0<\/p>\n

New Xbox CEO Asha Sharma in April of this lowered the price<\/a> of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate to $23 per month and PC Game Pass to $14 per month. However, \u00a0Call of Duty titles would no longer join Xbox Game Pass Ultimate or PC Game Pass at launch.<\/p>\n

Reports are the number of subscribers have stabilized and started to grow again with the cheaper price.<\/p>\n
