Microsoft Game Studios boss Phil Spencer has taken over the Xbox division, Microsoft announced.
“I will now be leading the Xbox, Xbox Live, and creative teams including Xbox Music, Xbox Video and Microsoft Studios as we deliver the next generation of games and entertainment,” Spencer said in a message on Xbox Wire.
“Combining these teams will strengthen the connection between some of the world’s most innovative creators and those building the Xbox itself. I am incredibly proud of the talented Xbox employees around the world and believe, like they do, in the power of technology to bring games and entertainment to life across console, PC, tablet and mobile devices. It’s been a remarkable year for Xbox and I am honored to lead the team at this incredible time for Microsoft and the games industry.”
Spencer promises to share more about Microsoft’s mission to “create the best games and entertainment” as we head into E3 in June.
“We are at the beginning of an incredible new chapter for Xbox and I can’t wait for the days and years ahead,” Spencer said. “This is going to be fun.”
