It is the only place it is growing since last year...
They were clear that Xbox Gamepass was stagned and they reached a wall there early than expected.

Do we have any users on this forum that come from one of those countries?

Besides @Bryank75 who resides in Panama, I don't think we have.

And if you're wondering why Bryank lives there, think None extradition.

Yes, we have some.

Last time they announced new countries/xCloud the numbers went DOWN and they stopped reporting the numbers. I bet it happens again lol

Looks like most of these are in the North Africa and Middle Eastern regions, with some South American and a sprinkling of Eastern European countries in the mix.

Not sure how much growth they're going to see in reality from these places, since I dunno how big PC gaming is in many of them, but good for PC Game Pass I guess.

Has to be.... Microsoft wants me back in the US for Twitter (Console) Warcrimes.

Not much use on a console when most of those countries aren't even supported by Xbox Live. But it's at least something.
