@asha_shar@shinobi602 How will you grow when console sales is in the basement, how to fund development of games if your rental service is not sustainable? In 3 years, 30% of developers is terminated and 80% of your games is AI slop for a Netflix style of quality. Without revenue
Xbox needs to move faster, deepen our connection with the community, and address friction for both players and developers.
Today, we promoted leaders who helped build Xbox, while also bringing in new voices to help push us forward. This balance is important as we get the business back on track.
As part of this shift, you’ll see us begin to retire features that don’t align with where we’re headed. We will begin winding down Copilot on mobile and will stop development of Copilot on console.
So proud of our team on #SAROS
We set out to create something bold and special, and these reviews are tremendous.
We’re ranked in top 1% of games.
I can’t wait for you all to experience Carcosa.
Come back stronger April 30 🔥
@InternetH0F That’s a tactic that’s going to backfire. When customers get attached to CEO’s, customers outcry will explode when expectations isn’t met.
Asha Sharma became CEO of Xbox only 2 months ago and she's already done some big things for its customers:
- Cut Xbox Game Pass Ultimate from $29.99 to $22.99 per month
- Announced Project Helix, the codename for the next-gen console
- Rebranded from Microsoft Gaming back to simply Xbox
- Scrapped the “This is an Xbox” marketing campaign
- Committed to human-crafted games and ruled out low-quality AI content
- Boosted direct fan engagement on X with faster responses and updates
SAROS reviews are coming in NOW: metacritic.com/game/saros/
"A perfect marriage between difficult and accessible, Saros is a brilliantly designed and majestic sci-fi nightmare that is as compelling as it is challenging." - Region Free
@BethesdaStudios I just got a refund from Sony, this is too bugged to play unfortunately. Maybe if the game gets fixed I will consider buying in the future.
Thanks for sharing your adventures across the Settled Systems this weekend — we’ve loved reading them! We’re aware of some reported PS5 crashing issues and have narrowed them down to a small number of causes. We’re addressing these in a hotfix we’re aiming to release this week. Thanks for flagging, and we’ll keep you posted.

@Housemarque I have had PS1-2-3-4-5-5Pro, N64 and Swith 1-2. Returnal is in my top 5 games of all time. Part of it was the achievement of ending the game. I’m concerned that SAROS is too easy for not that click and I did something special moment. I will buy day one though 🙏
Great start to the morning with Team Xbox, where we talked about our commitment to the return of Xbox including Project Helix, the code name for our next generation console.
Project Helix will lead in performance and play your Xbox and PC games. Looking forward to chatting about this more with partners and studios at my first GDC next week!
