Xbox's new CEO has responded to suggestions that she could be faking her Twitter posts to better fit in with the gamer crowd, which she knows "would be a terrible idea and wouldn't work," but she admits that, yes, her gamertag was only created "recently to learn and understand this world."
Last week, it was announced that Phil Spencer is retiring from his role as the CEO of Microsoft Gaming, with Xbox president Sarah Bond resigning, too. It's a huge leadership shakeup, and even more questions were raised considering that Spencer's replacement was named as Asha Sharma, who joined Microsoft in 2024 as the president of the company's CoreAI product, and had no obvious background in games.
