Thanks to the new acquisition of the Call of Duty series, Microsoft celebrates its games becoming the best-selling game on both Xbox and PlayStation platforms last quarter.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 was launched last October and was a huge success for Microsoft, which specifically mentioned the game in its latest financial report.
"Black Ops 6... More players in the release quarter than any paid-issue game in the series' history." Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella introduced in a conference call with investors.
"We also see strong momentum in the Xbox cloud gaming, with cloud gaming hitting a record 140 million hours this quarter," he continued.
Nadella also mentioned the excellent "Raiders of the Lost Ark: Ancient Circle" and revealed for the first time the achievements of MachineGames Studio's Universal Adventure game.
“Raiders of the Lost Ark: Ancient Circle has received a lot of praise, and more than 4 million people have played the game so far,” Nadella said.
The above two sets of data include both players who directly purchase the game, as well as players who play through game passes on PC and Xbox platforms.
In addition, of course, the time for "Raiders of the Lost Ark: Ancient Circle" to be launched on the PS5 platform is sometime in the first half of this year, and the performance of the game on PS5 is also worth paying attention to.
