Xbox Ambassador Is Closing After 13 Years — Here’s Why And What Happens Next
Microsoft has announced that it is closing the Xbox Ambassadors program after 13 years of operation. In a statement, Microsoft thanked fans for supporting the program for the past decade-plus, but the time has come to close it down due to an adjustment to “the needs of our global community,” Microsoft said.
The Xbox Ambassadors program will close after the end of the this current season, ending in mid-October. Microsoft said it’s ending the program in part because Xbox players are “finding more value” in other, similar places, including the Xbox Insider program, Fanfest, and the Xbox Rewards program.
“Thanks to the work of this group, the chance for players to experience the joy of gaming is more global and inclusive than ever–and we believe that now is the right moment to bring the learnings and values of the Ambassador community into all of our player engagement programs,” Microsoft said.
