2022 was a difficult year for Microsoft’s gaming division. The company didn’t make any significant developments, and its sales also declined. But this time, Xbox CEO Phil Spencer has promised fans a fantastic year.
In a conversation with IGN, Spencer claimed that the previous year’s output of first-party games and exclusives from the platform was insufficient. Spencer stated in the interview that “our commitment to our fans is that we need to have a steady release of great games that people can play on our platform, and there’s no doubt that we didn’t do enough of that in 2022.”
Spencer assured me that 2023 will be a thrilling year due to the projects currently in the Xobox pipeline. Spencer stated that he thought the company had momentum going into the current year as a result of the recent Developer Direct showcase launch of the popular game Hi-Fi Rush.
Microsoft Corp. is also investing $10 billion over several years in OpenAI, the ground-breaking artificial intelligence research facility that developed ChatGPT and DALL-E.
According to Spencer, 2023 is going to be a thrilling year as a result of the projects that are currently in the Xobox pipeline. According to Spencer, the company has momentum for the current year thanks to the recent launch of the popular game Hi-Fi Rush during the Developer Direct showcase.
In response to questions about layoffs at Microsoft, he said: “Obviously, we are going through some adjustments right now that are painful, but I think necessary, but it’s really to set us up and the teams for long-term success.”
Starfield, the company’s most eagerly awaited exclusive, will be made available. “I love the games that are coming out,” he said, looking ahead to 2023. As previously stated, Redfall and Starfield will be exciting, especially given the timing with Bethesda now that they are fully internalized by the organization.
The announcement follows the company’s announcement less than a week earlier that it would be letting go of 10,000 employees due to slowing demand for software. In that announcement, Microsoft said that it would continue to spend money and hire people as its top priority. On Tuesday, the developer of the software releases financial results for the second quarter. A person with knowledge of the discussions said that Microsoft invested a total of $10 billion over several years, even though Microsoft did not disclose the amount on Monday.
