I think this time last year when they announced the ABK deal, 25m
Yeah, we also got the news they had hit 18 million the January prior - so if we assumed they had maintained that rate theyâd be at 32 million subscribers by now. They did mention growth had slowed though, maybe theyâve hit 30 million by now?
Nice.
January 2021 - 18M January 2022 - 25M January 2023 - 30M ?
Id say 30m is possible as of now considering PC growth and Series sales but the delays for Redfall and Starfield especially will have slowed things down
My prediction is they are still a bit below that, 28-29
After the news of the internal Redfall delay and the Starfield page re-confirming the release window I was getting slightly hopeful about a April release for Starfield. But Redfall is going to be shown first, and letâs assume what Jez thinks is true, would it make any sense at all to still release before Redfall?
I guess if the Starfield Direct would be to follow closely after it, but this all sounds highly unusual to me. Youâd think if Starfield would be one of the first to release (well, maybe FM first) it would be shown first too. Or not. We should be hearing from Xbox themselves this week, who knows, maybe they give the update on Starfield right away too.
Itâs a question nobody can know a answer to, I realize this.
That week must be one busy week for Microsoft.
Wondered why there were 50+ replies in this thread since I last checked a couple of hours ago. Smoke is getting thicker. Great way to start the week for sure!
Itâs so thick I think I am suffering from smoke inhalation all the way from Australia
The actor playing Arthur Morgan in RDR2.
Starfield for June or later seems more likely
If it turns out to be the latter I wish they didnât add that release date question on the support page, reconfirming it. Who knows, maybe they plan on surprising everyone. Weâll see.
The guessing and waiting continuesâŚ
Good for him.
Gearbox 101
Yep, that has to be it.
But man, all these games leaving, Iâd sure like to have some games added. Itâs Tuesday tomorrow.
Tomorrow will be the day.
We Happy Few is owned by Microsoft, I wonder if the publishing deal has expired.
Could this happen with The Outer Worlds as well?
Possible but not likely since MS own everything when they bought Obsidian but the first game will probably be a bit tricky but future games will be published by MS
Eventually, maybe but with it getting a new version iirc and a sequel on the way
Id imagine MS would have much more incentive to keep it on the service vs WHF
