Xbox Set A New Record In January, Thanks To Palworld

January 2024 was Xbox's "biggest month ever" on console in terms of total playtime.

Microsoft has announced that the Xbox just broke a big record. January 2024 was Xbox's "biggest month ever" on console based on total playtime, the company announced in a blog post.

Microsoft's blog post specifically mentions Palworld, which has reached more than 10 million people on Xbox so far due in part to its inclusion in the Xbox Game Pass catalog.

Microsoft did not say which month was previously the biggest ever for Xbox on console in terms of total playtime. But Palworld was a bonafide phenomenon--and it's only available on console via Xbox--so it's not a big surprise to learn it helped boost total Xbox playtime.

Palworld was the biggest third-party launch on Xbox Game Pass ever, surpassing High on Life.

Palworld on Xbox (and PC, for that matter) is available in an unfinished state as developer Pocketpair continues to work on getting it ready for its 1.0 release.

Good for Xbox not interested in palworld but can see the appeal. Really interesting seeing ms go with palworld and Sony with Helldivers both doing really well.

Rollercoaster, baby

Yeah, to be honest I tried PW for a little while and never went back. I may have not given it enough time tho. :P

It was fun while it lasted. Too bad it couldn't boost Xbox sales though

I see you are a player of sales instead of games.😂

Him and Golden have "concern".

LOL!

Xbox posts a blog about "record players" the day NPD drops. They couldn't be more obvious... And some of y'all just eat it up...

I see you are suckers for propaganda and useless metrics 🤣

I am more interested in the number of people playing a game than the revenue. The revenue the corporation makes doesn't do anything for me, and helps me in no way.

Hellblade 2 this May. GREAT TIMES ahead! As a cow, I wish it was coming to our PS though.

Surprised a cow didn't post this, surely they say this in their Xbox news daily search.

MOOOOOOOOOOOO

or maybe they missed it due to being active in the PSVR2 suspended thread.

🤣😂

Yup. I am more interested in number of players though. Glad we are on the same page.

"January 2024 was Xbox's "biggest month ever" on console in terms of total playtime."

Wow. After 24 years, they just had their biggest play time on Xbox, EVER. CRAZY.

He rekt himself in record time. Impressive 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Congrats

And there goes the cow light switch!

🤣🤣🤣🤣

7 million users or something tried it right? Quite a big attach rate if people play it more than few hours.
