Microsoft Isn’t Exiting The Console Business, Xbox Boss Phil Spencer Reportedly Told Staff
Amidst reports of Microsoft bringing various first-party games to rival platforms, Xbox chief Phil Spencer reportedly assured staff that there are no plans to exit the console business. Microsoft plans to continue its console business, according to journalist Shannon Liao, and it’s claimed that Microsoft’s strategy will involve Xbox hardware and “multiple” kinds of devices.
“The company held an internal Tuesday town hall where Spencer told employees that there were no plans to stop making consoles, and that Xboxes would continue to be part of a strategy that involves multiple kinds of devices,” Liao wrote.
This lines up with previous comments from Spencer, where he mentioned Microsoft’s aim to expand the reach of its Game Pass subscription service.
