TrueAchievements took on the task of adding up the prices of all the games added to Xbox Game Pass throughout 2023. The total figure is made up of the full price of each title, so any discounts were left out.
To everyones surprise, Xbox Game Pass offered games worth almost $9000 USD this year. To be exact, the value of the games totaled $8763 USD. This is a surprising figure, as it far exceeds the value of 1 years subscription to the service.
Xbox Game Pass offered attractive day 1 releases this year, such as Starfield, Forza Motorsport, Hi-Fi Rush and many more. In addition, it had important third-party titles and independent productions that were very attractive to gamers.
We recently learned that it costs Microsoft a million dollars a year to bring games to its popular service. According to details, the company invests more than $1000 million a year on third-party games alone. Despite this, Phil Spencer, CEO of Microsoft Gaming, stressed that its business model is profitable.
Because of this, the tech giant is expected to continue investing a lot of money in the service in 2024 and beyond. With this, it seeks to expand the Xbox ecosystem to as many devices as possible. What was your favorite title you enjoyed thanks to Xbox Game Pass this year?
