Microsoft continues to grow with its giant steps and strategic moves in the gaming industry. The company’s annual report for 2024 has revealed the impressive position of Xbox in the gaming world. The tech giant, which has recently attracted attention with major acquisitions, has also succeeded in increasing the number of successful game series in its portfolio.

Microsoft Xbox is making more and more profit!

According to figures from Microsoft, Xbox currently hosts more than 20 game series, each generating over $1 billion in revenue. Among these series, Call of Duty stands out with remarkable success, having reached an astonishing $31 billion in revenue by itself. Popular series like Candy Crush, Diablo, and Warcraft, which were added to the company’s portfolio with the acquisition of Activision Blizzard, also significantly contribute to Microsoft’s success.

Microsoft’s growth in the gaming ecosystem is not limited to its existing series. The company has managed to attract hundreds of millions of new players to its platform in the past year. Xbox’s flagship series, including The Elder Scrolls, Halo, and Gears of War, continue to generate billions of dollars in revenue.

Despite this impressive financial success, there are some critical voices from the gaming community. Many players believe that the popular series owned by Microsoft have not released high-quality new games for a long time. For instance, the latest Halo games have not fully met fans’ expectations. Similarly, it is often stated that the Gears of War series needs a new sequel.

Microsoft has also secured an important position in the digital gaming market with its vast game catalog, particularly through its Game Pass service in recent years. Moreover, rumors about the upcoming next-generation Xbox console are seen as a sign that Microsoft will continue its strong presence in the hardware side of the business.
