Xbox CEO Vows Continued Investment in Gaming Franchises Amid Restructuring
In an interview with BBC News, Xbox's CEO expressed confidence in growing the platform to a billion daily users despite recent layoffs and studio restructuring. She emphasized that Microsoft will continue investing heavily in content and services, matching last year’s record spending. The CEO highlighted three major franchises—Minecraft, Call of Duty, and Candy Crush—as key revenue drivers and stated her goal is to expand this portfolio from three to six or eight billion-dollar annual titles within the coming years. The comments come amid Microsoft's broader strategy for Xbox, which includes streamlining operations while maintaining a strong focus on high-impact games. The CEO’s remarks suggest that despite cost-cutting measures in certain areas of the business, investment and growth remain central to Xbox’s long-term vision.
