Microsoft’s (MSFT) Q1 2026 earnings report marked the start of the company’s new fiscal year and provided insights into various segments of its business. Among these, the gaming division, which operates under the Xbox brand, was a key focus.
In Q1 2026, Xbox experienced a modest growth in its content and services revenue, increasing by 1% compared to the same period last year. Microsoft highlighted this data point in its earnings report, noting that “Xbox content and services revenue increased 1% (relatively unchanged in constant currency).”
While the growth is minimal year-over-year, it’s important to consider that last year’s figures benefited from the inclusion of assets acquired through the Activision Blizzard purchase. This context helps explain the relatively flat performance in the most recent quarter.
Microsoft rarely provides detailed financial disclosures regarding Xbox hardware or software sales. Even revenue generated from Xbox content and services remains largely undisclosed, making this data point a rare glimpse into the financial performance of Microsoft’s gaming division.
