IT House News on December 25, according to Insider Gaming, Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO Jim Ryan held an employee Q&A in December 2022, at which he hinted that PlayStation did not consider Xbox Game Pass to be a competitor.
He said the total number of XGP subscribers appears to be getting lower, with just 20 million users remaining, compared to PlayStation Plus which has nearly 50 million subscribers. In addition, he also mentioned Sony The number of PS5s sold in the past two years has exceeded the total number of Xbox Game Pass members.
IT House learned that as of September 30, 2022, PlayStation 5 has shipped 25 million units worldwide, and this number will continue to increase.
According to reports, Sony has significantly increased its PS5 stock capacity in the past few months, and some users have even seen piles of PS5 on store shelves. Additionally, fans can purchase a PS5 bundle that includes two of the biggest games of the year, God of War: Ragnarok or Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 .
The exact number of Microsoft Xbox Game Pass subscribers is currently unknown. However, this number exceeded 25 million in January 2022. Additionally, Sony has previously claimed that Xbox Game Pass has over 29 million monthly subscribers, so this statement seems to contradict that previous number. We think here that Ryan may have omitted PC Game Pass subscriber numbers and only compared Xbox Game Pass memberships on Xbox consoles to PlayStation Plus subscribers.
