The user figures are strongly impacted by the closing of Microsoft’s acquisition of gaming giant Activision Blizzard

I was sceptical of the 500m figure for Xbox (even if we include Xbox on Windows); but it makes sense if they include Battle.net figures I guess…

In the fiscal quarter ending June 2024, Microsoft reported over 500 million monthly active gaming users across all platforms and devices

I assume that includes Windows as a platform, which would include Steam users as well. It’s easy to look good when you include your competitor’s numbers in your own.

Don’t forget Minecraft either.
