On this Wednesday, July 2, it was a difficult day for XboxThe company was affected by mass layouts of Microsoft, which not only caused personnel reduction in several research, but also the abolition of games such as Ideal dark And Everwildand closing the initiative. And in the midst of all this mess, the hearing was implicated, saying that Phil Spencer has already set a date for his departure as the general director of Microsoft GamingField

The data was published @theghostofhope, Leader This usually filters the news about Call of DutyThe field according to the aforementioned, Phil Spencer plans to leave the position of the Xbox chief As soon as the company launches its consoles in the next generationField

The filter even claims that Spencer works with Sarah BondThe current president of the Xbox, so the transition is as liquid as possible when the moment comes. Thus, Bond will become the general director of Microsoft Gaming, and the company must aim at someone else in his outgoing position.

The publication soon became viral and generated endless comments. But you must take this for what it is: an anonymous post on a social network, where everything is exchanged, for the better or worse.

Some journalists who usually cover the video game in general and Microsoft, such as Tom Henderson and Jes Corden, They questioned this statementThe field while Frank Show, the head of the Redmond Firm communications department, used his account in X (Twitter) to consider all these assumptions as an invention without any livelihood.

When is Phil Spencer from Xbox?

This is a fact that sooner or later Phil Spencer will resign And it will give a place to others during the movement of Xbox. This is part of the logic of any working environment. And for how everything happens, it is unreasonable to believe that this will happen after the next generation consoles are launched. From there, in order to occur in a month, a year or 5 years after this event, this is another story.

In the end, we saw rumors that these devices would be launched in 2027; Although it was also assumed that they could appear in 2026. Next year, 25 years of Xbox debut will be completed, which also led to comments about possible unexpected advertising.

Also reasonable to think Sarah Bond As the highest candidate to replace it as the maximum chapter of Microsoft Gaming. In fact, a few days ago, it was she who announced the extension of the agreement with AMD about the development of chips for the next devices of the company.

What is discussed about what has been published today is that in fact there is a plan for the transition of Phil Spencer. The show makes it clear that this is notAnother time, the above -mentioned leader, would probably lose sight of such a comment. But not today. Especially when the Xbox was one of the largest Microsoft masses affected by mass layouts.

It is also a reality that the rumors of the departure of Phil Spencer as the CEO of Xbox have become quite frequent in recent years. Tom Henderson himself said that the comments in this regard were repeated last month during the summer game festival.

Among many speculations, The true problems of Xbox are confident in other waysThe field of the company’s multi -platform strategy is a cruel commercial success, but brought complaints among fans. And something like this happens with doubts in your future in the hardware business. To this noise we must add what happened in the last hours with dismissal and the abolition of games.
