ALIEN-gunner Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 273m is barely a profit for even a single AAA videogame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stepee Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Ea Access and Gamepass aren’t streaming services tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy4000 Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Games Pass isn't either yet. I expect there to be many more divisions of this pie chart in another year or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remarkableriots Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 @SaysWho? Why did you put streaming services when it's talking about subscription services? Also it's the top 5 subscription services. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won't make sense to limit it to a top 5 when there's more big competitors. They could at least change the way EA is divided up. It is informative as is though. I wouldn't have expected PC Origin subscriptions to be ahead of Games Pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eggydoo Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 That is honestly shocking. I do know a person that subscribes to PS Now though. Would love to know which market is spending on it. I bet most are from Japan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwinIon Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 I think the subscription numbers are probably more interesting than the revenue. Based only on this chart, they're estimating: Playstation Now ~ 7-9M Xbox Gamepass ~4M EA Access ~8-17M Origin Access ~4-8M Origin Access Premier ~1.5-3M For reference, Xbox Live has an estimated 57M, and PSN has over 80M, and while it's not a subscription, Steam has ~90M MAU.

Dodger Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Games Pass already having 4 million subscribers seems pretty damn impressive to me, and this before any real heavy hitters have come out and it's still relatively new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically those XBL/PSN numbers aren't subscriptions either. People like me who don't pay for PSN+ would still be counted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
