The new top boss at Xbox, Asha Sharma, continues to shake things up at the gaming giant. During a town hall meeting with staff today, she informed workers that the “Microsoft Gaming” moniker is going away. In the future, Microsoft will return to calling its gaming division “Xbox.” Sharma also laid out her vision for the future of Xbox, and that includes potentially making changes to exclusivity.
“Xbox needs to be our identity,” Sharma said. Microsoft shared a memo from Sharma and Xbox chief content officer Matt Booty on the company’s blog. The Verge was first to report on this.
“Our best work happens when the full stack moves together. ‘Microsoft Gaming’ describes our structure but it does not describe our ambition. So, we are going back to where we started and changing our team’s name,” the memo said.
