What is the difference between active players and registered accounts?

Daily and monthly active accounts count accounts used during that period. Registered accounts include inactive ones, and one person can have several. A count of players online measures something different.

Microsoft Store PC and Xbox console players can use the same Microsoft account without Cross Save, but expansion licences still stay on the platform where they were bought.
