Microsoft confirms that Phil Spencer, head of Xbox, is not retiring 'anytime soon' despite recent rumors online.
The denial comes after speculation that Spencer would retire after the launch of the next generation Xbox, with Xbox president Sarah Bond possibly taking over.
While the company's statement doesn't fully address the rumors, it is clear that Spencer's retirement is not imminent.
Under Spencer's leadership, Xbox has seen significant initiatives like the launch of Xbox Series X / S, expansion of Xbox Game Pass, and acquisitions of major companies. However, Microsoft is undergoing substantial layoffs affecting Xbox studios and employees.
