Microsoft Gaming CEO and Xbox head Phil Spencer has dismissed rumors about his retirement, with the company confirming he is not stepping down soon. The speculation arose following Microsoft’s recent layoffs and a claim by a Call of Duty leaker that Spencer would retire after the next Xbox launch, with Xbox president Sarah Bond succeeding him. Spencer, who has led Xbox since 2014, has been instrumental in major initiatives like launching Xbox Series X / S, expanding Xbox Game Pass, and acquiring companies such as Activision Blizzard. Meanwhile, Microsoft is undergoing significant cuts affecting Xbox studios and employees.
