As Microsoft looks to complete its acquisition of Activision Blizzard, interesting Game Pass subscriber numbers.
In Sony's effort to allay regulators' concerns about the acquisition, the documents it released express its deep concern about the deal and current and future competition in subscription services. As the Japanese company stated in one of its statements, quoting journalist and author Everborn Saga:
Game Pass is far ahead of PlayStation Plus. Microsoft already has a strong lead in multi-game subscription services.
Game Pass has over 29 million Xbox Game Pass subscribers across consoles and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, and is expected to grow significantly in the future.
While PlayStation Plus's gaming subscription tiers lag far behind, with fewer [منقح] subscribers.
These numbers, released by Sony, do not match the previous reports shared by Microsoft, which are superior to them in terms of numbers, as I previously spoke about the arrival of 25 million subscribers to the service.
Sony cited market data, analysis, and forecasts from Ampere Analysis, indicating that Microsoft has already achieved this joint feat with its Game Pass service. This means that Xbox won't need Activision content, such as the shooter Call of Duty, which could become exclusive to the Game Pass service.
