During an interview with Sources Podcast, Satya Nadella, Microsoft’s CEO, was asked about the recent changes at XBOX. Suffice it to say that the head of the American tech giant is very pleased with the situation and has reiterated his support for Asha Sharma, the head of XBOX.
"If I look at the studios, the IP portfolio we have, and our ability to then take that and produce great games going forward, I feel fantastic.
There’s some amount of streamlining the team is doing, and Asha is doing, which is great to see. And then we have to invent the right sustainable business model that allows us to deliver gaming to more and more people. hat has always been the goal, which is we want to be a great publisher and a great platform provider for games across both PCs and Xboxes. And so that is sort of our goal.
And I think Asha and team have said that Xbox is going to get back to growth this next fiscal year, and that’s the plan they’re executing on. And in that process, do a bang-up job of producing some great games."
In recent days, XBOX Game Studios has undergone significant staff reductions. As of now, only The Coalition, inXile Entertainment, Mojang, and Playground Games remain active under this moniker. The other studios have either been absorbed into Activision and Bethesda or spun off from the company to regain their independence.
The layoffs and restructuring at XBOX are far from over yet.
