Asha Sharma appointed as new CEO of Xbox
Asha Sharma has been appointed as the new CEO of Xbox, succeeding Phil Spencer and Sarah Bond. Sharma, an artificial intelligence expert who previously held leadership roles at Meta and Instacart, is tasked with leading a major restructuring of Microsoft’s gaming division.
Despite her background in AI, Sharma has explicitly stated that she will not allow the ecosystem to be flooded with “soul-less” AI-generated content, emphasizing that games remain a human-driven art form. Her leadership strategy includes a significant corporate reset aimed at making Xbox the world’s leading gaming and entertainment company by 2030.
This transition coincides with a massive restructuring effort within the company, which includes thousands of layoffs as Microsoft shifts its focus toward long-term innovation and high-quality content creation.
