Xbox CEO Asha Sharma reshuffles leadership, brings CoreAI talent
Xbox CEO Asha Sharma reshuffled parts of Xbox leadership, bringing in executives from Microsoft's CoreAI group and from teams she led previously to accelerate platform work. At a Redmond town hall, Sharma said Xbox 'does not spend enough time with developers and play' and declared, 'We need to evolve how we work.' She installed more technical leaders on the Xbox platform team to drive platform changes intended to address sinking game sales. Increasing CoreAI and platform engineering focus could change developer tools, cloud-based play features, and how games are updated and delivered on Xbox.
Xbox CEO Asha Sharma - "We will begin winding down Copilot on mobile and will stop development of Copilot on console."
𝙍𝙚𝙫𝙤 「レボ」231how about winding down copilot in general, no one wants that shit
Craig Blair133Good. Forced “AI” integration sucks so much.
Mark Shatraw62They were putting Copilot on console? I would rather have my kettle write me a haiku when I'm having sencha
fleetingveil.bsky.social44Seems to me between the Game Pass pricing pivot and now Copilot, Asha actually took time to listen to feedback and is making smart changes. Keep it up.
blakersz.bsky.social14Honestly this is the opposite of what I was expecting when she took the position, given what her role in Microsoft was before. Good news.
yeaitsme1015.bsky.social11I didn't even realize that was on console lol
DragonHolley10So far, she's doing a good job
PigeonFish6Ok Xbox...I still haven't decided to give you money again, BUT you at least have my attention for now. Next tell me you're expanding backward compatibility again and we'll talk.
Octavious Night6I pray for the downfall of Copilot and everything else like it
Pragmatic Sliver4Now tell the people in the Windows buildings across campus to do the same... 🙄
Think. It. Through.4I can’t wait for @edzitron.com to give us the smiling face.
elvancho.bsky.social4My biggest issue with AI is no choice. If it has to be forced on everything then that tells me I don't want it. This is a good move. Honestly confused because MS doesn't do that often anymore.
Sageoftruth4They're nice promises, but it Xbox taught me one thing, it's not to celebrate until I see some actual change.
Ink 🐻💾3Good change and I'm all for it - but I'm baffled by the constant back and forth. Wasnt long ago (month?) when they were like "copilot for xbox coming!!1". But.. I shouldnt complain in this case since wins a win. Just hoping next week its not different again 🙃
Steve Will Shan2Get it the eff outta MS Paint next -_- (won't even let me make a section box without trying to fill it with some ai nonsense).
Master1672What does CoPilot on console even mean?
Goofierbrute2Well great! Now what Xbox exclusives are there to be excited about now?!
Ajay Kundlas2Okay, now THIS is actually a big change I can appreciate. Thanks for not wasting money.
BELLAIR 🎮 [+..••] 👾2now that's a good first step
Asha Sharma has been head of xbox for like 2 months and she's already conclusively proven that Phil Spencer must have just been sitting in his office jerking off all day that man was NOT working
Kris Wolfheart129You notice how she keeps saying things, and then actually doing them? A shocking paradigm shift for xbox leadership
Devil May Carl15Honestly quite funny how the former AI CEO is the one reeling back all the AI shit that Phil allowed to creep in
Tukenfarben14Jim "Do Everything Wrong" Ryan vs Phil "Don't Nothing At All" Spencer This is the legacy of the true console war.
chimaera24.bsky.social9There's a reason every time Xbox laid people off people would look up his playtimes on Destiny 2 and Fallout 76, dude just played games at the office
Venturi3based tbh. Dude was living the dream
Asha Sharma has overhauled parts of the Xbox leadership team “Right now, it is too hard to ship impact quickly. We spend too much time inward instead of with the community, and we lack the depth we need in some of the fundamentals” via: CNBC cnbc.com/2026/05/05/mic…
Idle Sloth2Xbox is “bringing in new leaders with consumer and technical expertise we do not yet have,” she wrote in the memo. Four of those leaders are coming from the CoreAI group, overlapping with Sharma. via CNBC cnbc.com/2026/05/05/mic…
Paul2That sounds like corporate nonsense speak. Shipping impact?
