Two weeks ago, Microsoft’s Studio D building buzzed with anticipation. Hundreds of Xbox employees arrived early on a Thursday morning, filling hallways and the atrium to hear from Xbox CEO Asha Sharma.
The walls were adorned with the slogan ‘return of Xbox’—a message Sharma first delivered to employees in February. After two years of turbulence, Sharma’s address aimed to rally the team and outline a path forward for the gaming giant.
During the roughly 40-minute all-hands meeting, sources revealed that Sharma presented a four-point action plan, addressing key areas of focus:
- Hardware: Revitalizing Xbox’s console and accessory lineup.
- Games: Strengthening first-party titles and partnerships.
- Additional strategic priorities (details undisclosed).
The gathering marked a pivotal moment in Xbox’s efforts to regain momentum in a competitive gaming landscape.
