GitHub Copilot Pro+ subscriptions for individual developers increased 77% quarter-over-quarter.

Judge as of 2026-01-28, using the quarter Microsoft reported on that date (FY26 Q2, quarter ended December 2025) compared with the quarter before it. TRUE: Microsoft's official earnings materials (the earnings call transcript, press release or investor materials) or another authoritative source report that GitHub Copilot Pro+ subscriptions for individual developers grew 77% quarter-over-quarter, or a figure that rounds to 77%. MOSTLY TRUE: the growth is reported quarter-over-quarter for Copilot Pro+ and is within about ±3 percentage points of 77%, or it is exactly 77% but a minor detail differs (for example, the figure covers Pro+ subscribers generally rather than only individual developers). MIXED: the 77% figure is real but describes a meaningfully different measure, such as a different Copilot tier, year-over-year growth or revenue rather than subscriptions. MOSTLY FALSE: Pro+ subscriptions grew quarter-over-quarter, but by an amount well away from 77% (more than about 10 points off), or the 77% figure belongs to an unrelated metric that the claim presents as Pro+ growth. FALSE: the evidence shows Pro+ subscriptions did not grow, or Microsoft's figures contradict the claim outright. If Microsoft later formally corrects the figure, the correction governs.
