Phil Spencer is stepping down as Head of Xbox after 38 years at Microsoft, just ahead of the console's 25th anniversary. His time in charge saw the brand recover from a tough start with the Xbox One, but opinions are split on whether he did enough to boost exclusive titles or manage subscription costs for Xbox Game Pass.
He introduced key features like backward compatibility and cross-play, while also making Xbox games more accessible on PC. However, challenges like the pandemic and regulatory hurdles affected major projects and acquisitions. As Xbox prepares for its next chapter without Spencer, how do you think this will impact the future of gaming?
