💨 Abstract

Phil Spencer, a key figure at Microsoft's Xbox division for 25 years, has retired, and Sarah Bond has resigned as Xbox starts a major overhaul. Spencer is credited with innovations like Game Pass and acquisitions of Bethesda and Activision Blizzard, but Xbox hardware sales have stagnated. Asha Sharma, with no gaming experience but a background in AI, will replace Spencer. She promises a focus on great games, a return to Xbox's roots, and new ways to play.
