Two weeks ago, a palpable energy swept through Microsoft’s Studio D building. Hundreds of Xbox employees packed the hallways and atrium early on a Thursday morning, gathering to hear from Xbox CEO Asha Sharma. The phrase “return of Xbox” was emblazoned on walls throughout the facility, echoing the same rallying cry Sharma first delivered to the team back in February. After two years marked by upheaval and uncertainty, this was Sharma’s moment to galvanize the workforce and offer a glimpse into what’s next for the gaming giant.
