Microsoft earnings date: results for July to September on Oct. 28 at 5:30 p.m. ET, with Xbox set to fall again

Microsoft opens its books for July to September on Oct. 28, and Xbox is forecast to shrink again. Here’s when the results land, how to watch the call and which Xbox numbers to look for.

When does Microsoft report earnings?

On Wednesday, Oct. 28, 2026, after the stock market closes at 4 p.m. ET. Microsoft announced the date on Oct. 7 and posts the results on its Investor Relations website. The report covers July 1 to Sept. 30, 2026, the first quarter of Microsoft’s fiscal year 2027, which started on July 1.

What time is the Microsoft earnings call?

The live webcast starts at 5:30 p.m. ET, or 2:30 p.m. PT, on Microsoft’s Investor Relations website. Satya Nadella, chairman and CEO, and Amy Hood, chief financial officer, host it, and analysts ask questions after the prepared remarks.

What Microsoft expects from Xbox

Microsoft gave its forecast on July 29, 2026. Hood said Xbox content and services revenue, which covers game sales, Game Pass and in-game spending, would decline in the mid-single digits. Xbox hardware revenue would also decline from a year earlier, according to Hood.

For the whole More Personal Computing segment, which holds Xbox, Windows, Surface and search, Microsoft forecast revenue of $12.2 billion to $12.7 billion. A year earlier, from July to September 2025, the segment brought in $13.8 billion, and Xbox content and services grew 1% while Xbox hardware fell 29%.

How Xbox did from April to June 2026

Xbox revenue fell 10%, and content and services also fell 10%, against a year-earlier quarter boosted by Microsoft’s own games, Hood said. Operating income in the More Personal Computing segment, which holds Xbox, dropped 14%, and Microsoft listed severance expense and impairment charges in Xbox among the costs of the quarter. The More Personal Computing segment fell 4% to $12.9 billion, while Microsoft’s total revenue rose 18% to $90.0 billion.

Microsoft reports only the change in hardware revenue, not console units. That revenue fell 29%, 32% and 33% in the three quarters from July 2025 to March 2026, as our Xbox Series X sales page tracks.

Xbox prices and Game Pass during the quarter

Two price moves shape the July to September numbers. On Aug. 1, 2026, Microsoft raised US console prices by $100 to $150, putting the Xbox Series X 1TB at $799.99, as our Xbox Series X price page lists. Game Pass went the other way: Ultimate costs $22.99 a month after the April 21 cut from $29.99, and new Call of Duty games no longer join Ultimate at launch, as our Game Pass price page explains.

What doesn’t count in this report

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 launched on Oct. 23, 2026, after the quarter closed, so its launch sales land in the October to December results. Our Modern Warfare 4 release date page covers the launch. The next console, Project Helix, has no date or price, and alpha hardware reaches developers in 2027, as our Project Helix page covers.
