MS has been very vague on Gamepass numbers with their last figures being 25 million in January and the latest from the CMA case being 29 million.

I have GP until the end of the year so I'm playing it on that. I usually get a physical release if I like the game enough. Not sure about that yet.

Not interested in it, got all the feedback on it from my brother, who played it on Steam and refunded it (early access).

No interested at the moment . Maybe in a few years when I can buy it for £1.

I pirated it

Don't even want to play it anymore though, game has too many issues that I uninstalled it after 10 hours. Maybe one day I'll buy it on g2a for $5 when its fixed.

For PS5...

Ffs Spider-man 2 gonna hit 4.5-6 million easily because, Spider-man

If Starfield can't even break 2 million first week it is pretty pathetic

Even two digits increase on GP subscribers is not telling much. I can see many people just getting a 1 month subscription to play the game.

"Three digits console demand" Well, let's see about that.

Given that with this GamePass model we will have almost no transparency, it fits perfectly in Microsofts messaging. They will for sure talk about that the GP subscribers increased but nobody will know if people subscribed for another year, or just a month, which makes a crucial difference.

I can see Microsoft announcing a new GP subscriber record to make it sound like their model works perfectly. It just fits so percetly with their marketing until now.

"Fallout in space" as a description was enough for me to avoid it. Wouldn't play it if they paid me.

I'll play the vanilla version on game pass then build a new rig down the line once the complete edition releases and there's plenty of mods.

Yes, it's their nature. People will sub for a month or two then drop off like flues. If the increase wasnt in perpetuity it means shit! Even with tht I don't think their sub service brought in much from Starfeild but who knows.
