Following the major shake-up that has seen the departure of Phil Spencer and the exit of Sarah Bond, the new CEO of Microsoft Gaming, Asha Sharma, has sought to make her mark with a clear message: Xbox will refocus on its players, developers, and the console that started it all.
In her first official statements, Sharma has outlined three key pillars for this new era: a return to commitment to the Xbox community, barrier-free expansion across devices, and an ambitious reinvention of the future of gaming.
Xbox Reinforces its Commitment to Console, Community, and Human Creation
Sharma has emphasized that Xbox will celebrate its roots with a “renewed commitment” to the console, highlighting its role as a connection point between players, fans, and studios. According to her words, the brand will reinforce the bond built over 25 years, without abandoning its expansion to PC, mobile, and cloud.
The new CEO has also made her technological vision clear: video games should no longer be limited to a single hardware platform. Xbox will strive for a seamless and instant experience across devices, eliminating barriers for developers to create once and reach players worldwide without technical concessions.
Regarding the future of the medium, Sharma has spoken of “reinventing gaming,” exploring new business models and ways to play, but without turning franchises into mere commercial assets. She has been particularly forceful in referring to artificial intelligence: games will continue to be art created by humans, and the ecosystem will not be filled with soulless, generated content in pursuit of short-term efficiency.
The new leader of Microsoft Gaming concludes with a powerful statement of intent: to recapture the rebellious spirit that founded Xbox and bet on surprising projects that others dare not attempt. A new era that promises profound changes for the brand.
