Microsoft is promoting Matt Booty to president of game content and studios, including the new responsibility of ZeniMax, and Sarah Bond to Xbox president, overseeing all Xbox platform and hardware work.
The Xbox changes mean Booty will now lead an expanded organization inside Microsoft Gaming that now includes ZeniMax and Bethesda. Booty’s expanded role should help Microsoft Gaming avoid scenarios like Redfall in the future, with Microsoft clearly focusing on better collaboration between the teams it acquired with the ZeniMax / Bethesda acquisition.
Bond will now take over the hardware and software platforms of Xbox. She will now be responsible for the future of Xbox, both in hardware and software.
These Xbox leadership changes mean there will be more women in gaming leadership roles at Microsoft than men once Bobby Kotick, CEO of Activision Blizzard, departs at the end of 2023.

Congratulations Lead Booty 😉
So many of us reading “reorganization” and anticipating several paragraphs of layoffs.

Why does this matter? Why not be proud of people’s qualifications instead of what’s in their pants?
“They were always sexist before, so let’s be equally as sexist now” isn’t a good look.
Because it’s been about what’s in somebody’s pants for centuries and it’s not fair to just let all that accrued momentum keep women out of leadership roles.
If women were actually equal, they wouldn’t need to be given positions because of their sex, they would earn them.
Why do you think women are so weak they need men to help them get work? Sounds pretty sexist. Your bigotry of low expectations is showing for all to see.
Funny how it’s always those wishing to force equity of outcome that are the most bigoted of all. But hey, at least your hate for fellow humans is easy to spot when you outright admit your stance is based on revenge and has nothing to do with equality. Sadly this revenge appears to be based on jealousy men created the modern world. If women are equal, why didn’t they help?
Everything you used to type your bigoted message was invented by a man. You’re welcome. The laws that exist to allow you to spread your hate, also invented by men. You’re welcome again. Shall I continue?
Obvious troll is obvious, please try a little harder in the future.
claims that someone else’s hatred is shown, then claims in the same paragraph that women are not equal. Must be fun at parties (if he ever gets invited)
Lol, just straight facts. Facts you can’t refute. Have fun with that. ;)
