Xbox CEO Asha Sharma issues a four-point recovery plan in an internal memo following Microsoft’s Xbox restructuring, which includes cutting about 2,800 jobs and spinning off four studios. According to reports, Sharma focuses on returning Xbox to player and revenue growth and sets timelines tied to the end of Microsoft’s fiscal year 2027, which runs through next June. She also calls for improving margins and aligning performance expectations with major competitors, including Sony and Nintendo. The memo highlights continued investment in major Xbox and gaming franchises, including Minecraft and the Candy Crush maker King, and emphasizes efforts to sustain console exclusives through 2030. The Verge and The Times of India both report that Sharma frames the strategy as a “reset” and directs staff toward execution targets aimed at reversing the impact of the layoffs and organizational changes. While the outlets differ slightly in wording and emphasis, they describe the same overall goals: growth, margin improvement, and targeted funding for key franchises and console content, with specific end-of-fiscal-year milestones.
