More than 64 million active users use Xbox Live every month, said Bill Schiefelbein, the program’s general manager. He presented key figures on the use of the service at GDC 2019.
Users spend a total of 4.28 billion hours in games available via Xbox Live every month. These figures are not broken down by platform. Every month, 736 million times are connected to Xbox Live from all possible devices, writes PC Games Insider.
Speaking of devices. As part of GDC 2019, Microsoft introduced an SDK for cross-platform support of the service. Xbox Live will appear on Android and iOS mobile devices. According to Shifelbein, mobile developers will not need to undergo pre-certification to publish games on Xbox Live.
The SDK allows you to implement achievements, friend lists, family access settings and Xbox Gamerscore points. All this will be saved in accounts on mobile, Xbox and PC consoles.
