As expected, Dispatch saw another jump in engagement with its final content release on Wednesday. According to Circana's Player Engagement Tracker, 4.2% of US Steam active players that day played the game. It saw roughly a full percentage point increase with each drop.

SCOOP: For the last two years, Microsoft has pushed Xbox to hit profit margins of 30%, an ambitious target that's far higher than the industry average.
This chase for profit has led Xbox to raise prices, cut thousands of jobs, and rethink everything.
