　　Microsoft first shared the big news during its quarterly earnings meeting on January 25, where it revealed record-breaking profits across the company.

It comes as no surprise that these numbers are largely impacted by the release of Halo Infinite and Forza Horizon 5, both of which have led to increased Xbox Series X sales and Game Pass subscriptions.
