During a town hall meeting, Xbox CEO Asha Sharma addressed staff to provide reassurance following recent studio closures and mass layoffs tied to a business reset. According to Windows Central, Sharma stated that Xbox is making correct choices and beginning to return to growth following an all-time low, despite providing no specific evidence.
Sharma asserted that titles including Minecraft Dungeons 2, Gears of War: E-Day, and World of Warcraft: Forever enjoyed strong launches without offering details. She mentioned that growth had multiplied by more than 2 to 3 times and that this trajectory is expected to continue.
Addressing hardware plans, Sharma confirmed rumors that the Gen-10 platform, known as Project Helix, will consist of a family of devices because a single device cannot fit all needs. She emphasized the importance of prioritizing a great console first while also catering to players on the go.
Microsoft plans to manufacture certain hardware devices itself while finding partners for others. Sharma noted that the operating system is progressing well, though specifics regarding upcoming consoles and portables remain unshared amid challenging market conditions.
