Microsoft's latest earnings results have been published for the quarter ended September 30th, 2022 (FY23 Q1) and Xbox's gaming revenue is up by 4% year-over-year.

Xbox's hardware revenue increased by 13%. Once again, this was thanks to the continued demand for Xbox Series X|S around the globe. However, Xbox's "content and services" revenue has declined by 3%. Here's what the official report said about this - noting how it's offset by growth in Xbox Game Pass:

"...Driven by declines in first-party content and in third-party content, with lower engagement hours and higher monetization, partially offset by growth in Xbox Game Pass subscriptions."

For this same period, Microsoft's overall revenue was $50.1 billion, which is a better outcome than the previous estimate of $49.7 billion.

Although there have been declines in first-party content during this quarter, Xbox looks set to improve first-party offerings in 2023 with releases like Forza Motorsport, Starfield and Minecraft Legends. It's also still in the process of closing the Activision Blizzard acquisition.
