On average, users engage with a greater number of titles on Xbox each month compared to other platforms

Newly released statistics indicate that Xbox users engage with a larger selection of titles each month than players on both PlayStation and Steam.

This information, presented by Ampere Games Analytics, shows that in August 2025, Xbox enthusiasts played an average of 5.7 different games.

For comparison, Steam users engaged with 4.5 games on average, while PlayStation players interacted with 3.7 titles, representing a 38% lower engagement than Xbox.

Ampere Analysis pointed out that Xbox’s Game Pass serves as a significant factor contributing to this high level of game engagement, even though PlayStation Plus Premium boasts a greater number of available games.

By August 2025, Game Pass offered over 500 games to its subscribers, whereas PS Plus provided nearly 1,000 titles.

The analysis revealed that Game Pass subscribers exhibit greater activity across various games when compared to PS Plus users, with PlayStation players engaging with, on average, two fewer games monthly than Xbox players.

The study also indicated that Steam users play one fewer game on average compared to those on Xbox each month.

These findings underscore the financial barrier to accessing games, as Game Pass enables users to experience a wider array of titles without the need to purchase individual games.

Despite this diverse engagement, Ampere noted that Xbox players tend to spend less overall time playing. In August, Xbox players averaged 7.7 hours, trailing behind PlayStation and Steam, which saw averages of 12.7 and 11.9 hours, respectively.

The firm concluded that although Xbox users typically dedicate less time to each title, they are trying games they might not otherwise encounter.

Earlier in the week, ID@Xbox director Chris Charla disclosed that the platform has made its "largest investment in Game Pass to date" this year, remaining committed to offering a vibrant and varied gaming library.
