Xbox claims strong start to 2018
Player numbers and hardware sales are up over last year
Microsoft has announced a few highlights coming from the Xbox community to kick off 2018.
The company reports record-setting number of players, playing at record levels, and engaging in new ways. Xbox Live players are up 13 percent and Xbox One sales are up 15 percent over the same period last year. More than 600,000 friendships have been forged with the Looking For Group feature, and there are now more than 1.2 million Clubs on Xbox Live.
Sea of Thieves is the fastest-selling Microsoft Studios new IP of this console generation. Over 4 billion hours have been spent on games released through our ID@Xbox program and nearly 1 billion hours on games in the Xbox One Backward Compatibility library.
The Xbox team is looking forward to revealing more of what they have in store for the future at E3, starting with the Xbox Media Briefing on June 10.
