Xbox has responded to rumors claiming Phil Spencer is planning to retire following the launch of Microsoft’s successor to the Xbox Series X, saying in no uncertain terms, “Phil is not retiring anytime soon.”
Amid a brutal wave of layoffs that resulted in several game cancelations, a shuttered studio, and most tragically, about 9,000 redundancies across numerous Microsoft teams, a rumor surfaced from Call of Duty leaker GhostofHope, who claimed Spencer was leaving the company “after the launch of the next generation Xbox.”
However, in a statement shared with The Verge, Xbox head of communications Kari Perez seemed to explicitly refute that rumor. “Phil is not retiring anytime soon,” reads Microsoft’s comment.
