With Xbox Game Pass, Microsoft has a 60% market share in gaming subscription services.
According to an analysis of subscription services such as Xbox Game Pass or PlayStation Plus, the impact on the gaming industry is rather small compared to the music and film industries.
According to Piers Harding-Rolls of Ampere Analysis, such gaming subscription services account for just 4% of revenue in North America and Europe.
That would be just 3.7 billion of the 81 billion generated from games (discs, downloads, add-ons) in these regions.
If you look at the music industry, it’s just a drop in the ocean. Streaming services like Spotify accounted for 83% of revenue there last year.
According to the analysis, Microsoft will continue to have a 60% market share with its 25 million Xbox Game Pass subscribers.
